Is there any good spoke calculators out there, that I can trust?

I have a Planet X 82mm rim and CycleOps PowerTap SL+ Track Hub with 24 holes would need to be laced 3 cross.

What spokes do I need?

I have the dimensions for the Powertap if you need them.

Oh wait, they are in the manual.

Just make sure you measure the ERD on the PX rims.

Can you lace a 24h hub 3x? I went for 2x on mine. It hasn't exploded yet.

I think Powertaps are recommended 2x

24 3x gives a spoke pulling angle of more than 90 degrees. Not a good idea.

found a image (spoke overlaps next spoke head):
