My opinion is to first determine a few issues.
How much RAM will it need? If over 3GB of physical RAM, consider 64
bit.
Are there third party applications you need to run on it? If they are
64 bit, that answers the question too. If 32 bit, are they supported
on 64 bit OS? Do they have different versions for 32 and 64 bit?
