Yeah, generally when you lace a hub once it makes minor marks into the hub flange, not recommended to go against them, for that reason I'd go xc279, reuse old spokes as they've not seen a lot of use and are at quite a high count, but get new nipples, that should allow you to fine tune the spoke length too
Judging from the article my only option is to keep the 3x it is currently in, and not remove the spokes from the hub.
