The 32 bit is going to be less hassle, but not use the full potential of your CPU. 64 bit is just fine but ocassionally you make have issues with flash or other plugins. Generally speaking they work now, but im running 64 and I had Firefox crash 3 time tonight when i loaded a page with flash. However tonight is the first time it has happened in several weeks.
