Short answer: Yes, you should. :=) Longer answer: It will depend somewhat on the available memory on the system (both hardware, and how much other software is using).
If you only have the 64-bit JDK installed, you will need to use the 64- bit version, but you can also install the 32-bit version and use that. So, by that somewhat more involved reasoning, I concur with TreKing: Why don't you try both and see what happens? It's what I'd do. My RAM is really too small, so I don't see a clearcut benefit (or disadvantage). The other thing is -- play with the amount of memory you allocate to Eclipse before you write off one or the other.
