I usually compromise a bit between the two and then throw in my own usage and weather as well. But I always use the bike's OM (not the tire mfg who I think just tends to make blanket recommendations for huge classes of bikes) as the starting point. I'll go up/down a few psi to try and get neutral steering - I hate having to hold bar pressure in a turn.
32/36 sounds low - I suspect that's with a very light load, so except for the track, I'd tend to go a little higher.
When you're stretching a tire to make it home, go higher, up to the limit on the tire sidewall. My experience is that bumping from 36 to 44 psi will double how long that remaining tread will go to get you home.
