Three shops didn't have the right length spokes for 3-cross, so at the 4th I choose to go for crows foot.
I got the info that crows foot makes a strong wheel from this page http://www.geocities.com/spokeanwheel/lacingcf.htm. It doesn"t exist anymore but the wayback archive has it (sadly no images):

Still, shouldn't the spokes snap first?
