Aside from the work mentioned above, I also edit some really big
video files and do ffmpeg transformations on them.
Right. In which case 64 bit is for you.
So, is there some way of choosing which of the above is the best

AIUI you can however run
a 32 bit userspace on a 64-bit kernel - but I've not done this so can't
offer advise ;).
I do this all the time and it works, however the most common problem is not
having all the 32 bit libraries installed, eg, glibc, where you will have
the 64 bit equivalents

Along with all the cute benefits that LVM offer is a much higher disk failure

And how exactly does LVM offer a much higher disk failure rate ?
