Yes, you could use either, but unless you're using really wide old skool bladed spokes you don't need to. If you're using bladed spokes like a CX-Ray, DT Swiss Aerolite or Pillar 1421 then you don't need the drilling for bladed spokes because the bladed section is 2.2mm(ish) wide and will fit through a normal spoke hole. Given the choice, I'd rather have the extra material in the hub flange, so unless you're going to fit really wide bladed spokes I'd go for the standard drilling option.

@Brommers - a follow up question regarding that Mack rear hub you mentioned and which I'm about to order. One of the options is for it to be drilled for bladed spokes. I'm not sure yet what I'll be using, but way well go for bladed. If I go for that option, I assume I can use either regular or bladed?
