32 hole vs 36 26"mtb wheels for touring?

Are 32 hole rims strong enough for loaded touring? I need new wheels and have seen a good price on a set with 32 hole rims. I know people usually recomend 36 but how much difference does it really make? From what I can see most mtb wheels use 32 and I would have thought they probably stress their wheels more than steady touring even with a load.

thanks
