It's clear that a lot of thought has been put into how drive and braking forces affect wheel performance. I like the idea of using a variation of spoke guages. Even for maintenance, I'm not really concerned with having three spare spokes instead of one if the riding performance is improved. If I buy these then I'm probably having a shop maintain my bike anyway Otherwise, I would just build my own to wheelset to start. The idea of having both brass and aluminum nipples is interesting and totally acceptable if a wheel is laced appropriately and not so tight...
