It looks like the Wheelsmith XL 15 would be a great choice. http://www.wheelsmith.com/index_files/wsspokes.htm

Jobst Brandt has posts from long ago that are very critical of the alternate DT Revolution spokes, which don't look like old DB spokes anyway.

Building a decently tensioned wheel with such spokes can be a challenge.
