It wouldnt do anything to the hub , people have done it , some spokes just might stick out an extra little bit, should be fine i reckon considering other people have done it and its came out ok..

What are you lacing it too? 188mm will be fine. Longer rather than shorter.

According to Pijin's calculator 36h and 3x Rant V2 onto Hazard Lt is 184.2mm & 185.4mm

So i'd just use 184mm all round. But that's me.

Double Butted spokes are lighter and could be considered as being stronger. Alloy nipples can save more weight but they're weak if your heavy handed with a spoke key.

DB spokes won't make a difference to the quoted length. Nipple length will, slightly.
