There's no reason your wheels can't look a bit different without radial spokes.
I just built two wheels up this week, my first wheel build and it went okay.
Took my time, allowed an evening per wheel and just used the bike frame/forks to hold wheel while truing.
Front: 36h 3 leading 3 trailing.
Rear: 36h 3-cross crows foot.
I would say the crows foot was easier to do, and it feels so solid. I used ACI spokes too.
