Default Buying spokes... what should i know?

well the girlfriend wanted to get me something for christmas for my bike and she is going to fund my rims. I am having them powder coated gloss black (rim and hub) and putting twisted chrome spokes in... i think i need a set of 19 for the front and 17s for the rear correct?oooh ya it is a 06 st bob. DO i have to specify how many i need, any where that ya'll would suggest i get them? I have NEVER bought spokes before and do not know anyone that has so any advice would be great!

(we are also doing my brothers sporty's tins in extreme chrome with 2 clears... will look awesome, His bike is like solid chrome as it is... ill post picks of bothwhen they are finished up)

I was thinking of buying a set from these guys http://www.landmarkmfg.com/. But I am not sure if I want 40 or 80 spokes or what the benefit would be of one over the other.

Here's one source.

http://www.hdwheels.com/Price_list.htm

They can do about any spoke style you want. Chrome -Gold -Single color -Fade two color - etc.
I haven't dealt with them. I just found them on the internet.
