The spoke count is absolutely fine as long as you will treat them as racing/club run rims.
Re spokes and lacingFront: Radial, cx-ray/aerolite
Rear: 2x Both sides - the rim is gonna move between your brake pads regardless of spoke gauge. Using heavier gauge spoke like aerocomp is gonna reduce this a little bit.
Any carbon rim is more then suitable to be used with thin spokes when it comes to durability

Thanks.
The wheels won't be for daily use, just for when I fancy going out and doing a few 'fast' miles in good weather. I don't think 2x on NDS is an option, as far as I'm aware the rear hub is made for straight pull/radial NDS:
Is there any logic in using thinner spokes on the NDS in terms of helping to balance tension more evenly, or, does a thinner spoke become more tensioned, if stretched over the same distance as a thicker spoke?
Planning a build with some HED Sonic Hubs from an Ardennes wheelset to some kind of Chinese Carbon rim. I weigh 65kg and planning 18h (radial) front, 24h (radial NDS, 2X DS) rear. Would DT Aero Comp all round, or DT Aero Lite, with Aero comp Drive side only be recommended?
