Great, thanks for your input.
I will likely use Halo double butted 14-16-14 gauge spokes with brass nips, they will hopefully be up to the job, i've not had any problems with them in the past. There won't be much of a front load, i opt for frame bags on my audax bike and a bike packing setup on my gravel.

I dont think there is going to be a problem with braking, but a couple of people on here have complained about weak lateral stiffness (sideways). The flanges are only 50mm apart.
So I would use at least 2mm/1.8mm butted spokes like Dt swiss comp
But front wheel stiffness also depends on how heavy the load is and how annoying you find the flex. Some don't mind....
