35 is better in my eyes, they will become less soft as the temps drop. Anything above 35-40ยบ outside and they wear quickly and don't do there job as good, they excel in cold temps.
As for that stocker guy, we have tons of people come in with different rims they want thrown on the car for winter and most never have sensors. My work is not a corp. store, so being a private owner has it's perks and we just don't care and leave it all in the customers hands for checking pressures etc etc.

I've had good luck with the General Altimax, Bridgestone Blizzaks, and Michelin X-Ice. I just installed a set of the Goodyear snow tires for a friend, and it's too early to have results yet. My brother uses the Firestones, and they work great but he complains about the noise. For most cases I recommend the Altimax for the budget conscious and the Blizzaks in most other cases.
For tire pressure, it depends on how you use the car. If you do a lot of highway, I like to go 2-4 PSI over factory recommendation. For cars which are "locally driven", I will stick to factory recommended pressure (with the caveat that I will also compensate for dropping temperatures - the rule of thumb is that you drop 1 PSI for every ten degrees F.)
