the difference would be marginal. Both spoke types will give you a good wheel, more important would be the spoke tension.

Race all over, standard rear drive side for all the gains. But it depends, do you really want a super stiff wheel? How many spokes? How much weight you plan to carry?
I like slightly less stiff wheels in my gravel bike, bonus points for weight saving. -
Will the comp race spokes make a significantly less stiff wheel build?
About 20% less stiff. I'd go for standard Comps as the Race spokes are a little too close to twirly-whirly Revolutions/Lasers for my liking. But YMMV.

Spoke choice for a wheel build
I was hoping to get hope hubs and xm481 rims as part of a new bike build but they don’t have that rim in stock.
However they do have ex511 which is a slightly burlier rim. I could upgrade spokes from dt swiss competition to competition race spokes which would slightly offset the extra weight though clearly not at the extreme end of the rotating mass.
