I am trying to add a partition in my garage and the ceiling joist does not line up with the wall studs. So my question is which one do I go by?

It shouldn't make any difference. If it isn't any extra work I'd position the studs directly below the ceiling joists. This will make everything just a little stiffer and more solid.
