Thanks in advance.
If your new hub dimensions aren't identical to the original, you're most likely going to have to buy new spokes. Just Google for spoke length calculator and use the one you like best. Since you're getting a real nice hub and will have to rebuild the wheel, you might as well buy some real nice spokes like double butted Sapims or DT Swiss..
