You can build your own straight pull spoked wheels if you like. I cant see how that would make them stiffer though. I agree with the crowd (safest bet), build a set based on your needs and then crank up the tension some.
I would'nt use thin spokes for this thougth as wind-up can be a real PITA. I'd recomend a profiled spoke, something like a sapim CX-ray. Purely because you can see the bastard twisting on you.
I've attached catalogues for novatec and joytec, who do striaght pull hubs. Sourcing them is another matter.
