Download a wheel building book on pdf. There are several available. If you stick with 2-cross or 3-cross then you should be ok as long as you follow a pattern. I wouldn't try any silly shit like spoking it radially; just build it strong.
Your wheel won't be dished to one side like a geared rear wheel, so spoke length should probably be the same, but you should use a spoke length calculator (eg. the free online Excel one).
