Assuming all else the same, which will resist twisting forces better, or is it inconsequential?
(maybe this should be in the wheelbuilding thread, but I think that should just be merged into this thread anyway; meh)
By my rough sums, more spokes just beats better angles in this case. The 28 spoke option will transmit the same torque with a 5% smaller shift in spoke tension.
