There's no harm in using 36 spokes as long as it doesn't compromise your hub and rim choices, 32H is obviously more common and strong enough at your weight. Three cross all round either way, there's no good reason to do any different with large flange hubs. I might be tempted to go four cross for small flange 36H to minimise wind up, especially if running low gears for trick cycling.

cheers! your technical disquisitions got me mentally horny as fuck about hubs... i've been thinking about them to sink them in...
thank you very much, i learnt a lot.
novatecs are quite obtainable here in italy...
i think my choice has now boiled down to novatecs vs ambrosio zeniths.
zenith is the only lowbudget hub easily available /w 36 holes.
i weight 63-65kg, but for my style of riding (pretty raw) and glorious Rome city pavement state (also pretty raw)..
what do you think? should i go 36?
also im' starting to wonder... how many spoke crossings? at least 2, that i do know... :) [im mostly concerned about the rear, the front doesn't bother me]
