Interesting* discussion here on spokes:

Seems to come to the conclusion that PG spokes will make for a stronger wheel as a whole, but their fatigue life isn't as good as DB spokes.
While the extra strength of the wheel built with PG will be good in terms of crashes etc., maybe DB spokes are a better bet in terms of absorbing impacts from the ball?
Overall, it'll come back to how well the wheel is built in the first place, and how well it's maintained through its life.
