A friend asked me to build an Enduro MTB wheelset for him.
He swears by DTSwiss spokes as he says Sapim is a "roadies" brand ...
Hubs are I9 Hydra Classic, with the Single Speed rear. He has a Zerode bike with the internal gear box.
I'm not sure what spoke model to use. Most of the wheels I see use DT Comps.
I'd be tempted to use Aerolites/Aerocomps, as I feel round spokes are always tougher to adjust once they're "jammed" after a few months/years of use, but I'm not the buyer here ...
What do you suggest ?

Aero versions are also much easier to build (hold to prevent twist) but they (Aero comps) jack up the price by ~80 euros. That goes to some 140 if you want Aerolites, but really not sure those would be good for enduro...
