Seems a rather odd build, to be honest. You have a durable but heavy hub with expensive but light spokes, so many that the aero benefits of bladed spokes will be minimal, with a rather shallow and old-fashioned rim.
If you're absolutely set on using the 36h rear hub I think a Kinlin XR31T from Spa Cycles in 36h format and some ACI Alpina spokes would be a more coherent and sensible build. Much as I love CX-Rays.

Hypothetical Build:
6700 Rear Hub 36h (because I have it)
Velocity A23 OC 36h (unobtainable right now hence the hypothetical nature of this build)
Sapim Cx-Ray 298mm for both NDS and DS in a 4-cross pattern both sides. (Currently less than €2 each in a box of 20 from bike-components)
Would this be a good build for a tourer / Audax wheel build?
I struggled with spoke windup when I used 1.5mm spokes previously, thinking the cx-rays would help me out there due to the profile.
