In Sweden, I'm using the former ... they often double up as agricultural or remote residential access. And I use the latter for forest trails for when it is clearly too narrow for vehicles or they are specifically forbidden. I've also wondered about using highway=track; cycleway=track; bicycle=yes|permissive; [surface=unpaved|gravel] BTW, the gravel-type tracks here are excellent for riding - generally a compressed earth/very small grade gravel mix that forms a hard fairly smooth shell that does not mire in summer and safer in icy conditions than tarmac.
