Mirror image or Duplicate pattern? [spoke lacing]

Can anyone tell me if it is better to use a mirrored spoke pattern or a duplicate pattern. And it looked like there was only one way to install the spokes, but now that they are on, it looks like I can use the mirror image pattern like the spokes on the other hub.

All of the spokes on the short side facing out and to the left side [all the way around] and the other side hanging spokes are too long [not cut much different] but the ones sticking out are 10mm out. Does this happen from NOT using a mirrored pattern?

I sapose I will just have to try it out and let you know later. But it would be good to hear from an experienced wheel builder, I have built only about 8 wheels, and this is only the second wheel using a motorcycle rim.
