How did that occur?
I'd lead towards re-using the spokes and nipples unless they've already had a long hard life. But if you're facing the hassle and delay of buying a new rim, it's not much more time and money to buy new spokes too.
A page ago i was speculating about failures at rim joints. Pinned joints are common practice, but if you don't believe my theory you might want to seek out a rim with a welded joint.
