Respoking advice

I'm thinking about re-lacing the 27" wheels on my '73 Dawes. The spokes are pretty discolored and a couple nipples are tough to adjust. It would also give me an opportunity deep-clean and polish everything.
Thinking about using stainless spokes if it's price-appropriate for the bike and wheels. Where is the best place to source spokes and nipples for this? I've seen instructions on the various sites for measuring spokes and I can measure spoke thickness, etc. I've relaced motorcycle wheels in the past but it was a one-for-one deal on an old 'giro bike and I used the original spokes which were in great shape.
