Cx ray is Laser hammered flat.
Lasers wind up a lot especially when not lubricated properly.Cx ray has same stiffness and weight as lasers. Lots of cash for not much bang. Easy to build with since you can easily control the wind up.
Id do what tester said to do. Comps, races or suchlike. Maybe pillar 1422 aero spokes?
Also sl23 is a rim that's stiff and strong and light but the alloy is really soft and wears super quick under shit conditions and prolonged braking.
I wouldn't put that on a commuter

I want to give wheel building a go.
Where do I start?
The hubs would be Hope Mono RS and rim Pacenti SL23 650b.
Specs for hubs: http://www.hopetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/2016-UPDATED-HOPE-HUBS-SPOKE-OFFSET-AND-PCD3.pdf
I tried the DT spoke calculator and it has given me following results for 2x lacing all round:
Rear right: 272mm
Rear left: 277mm
Front both: 278mm
I dont understand what spokes I would need. I want all year round wheelset for rim brakes and I weigh 63/65kg.
