Round will be easier to build with, especially for someone new to the process.
Eh? Bladed are far easier to build with. Stopping spoke wind up is trivial with bladed spokes and a spoke key. Far harder with round spokes.
I oil the spoke tips, hub holes and rims and have never found wind up to be an issue, though I’ve never built with less than 28h.
