Depends what frame you are putting it on I would say.
For example- if you are converting an MTB frame with widely flared chainstays you will not be able to run a "standard" sized ring and get a decent chainline.
Therefore a four bolt MTB ring makes a lot more sense.
You can get track sprockets in 3/32- it's what the pursuit riders used to use instead of 1/8th inch as it was said to flow more smoothly- according to Barrie Whitcomb when last I spoke to him anyway.
It would be overkill using something like Shimano Saint cranks- but sometimes overkill is fun.
Don't let others preconceptions of what your bike should look like hold you back.
