Well, in general a cross-environment is fine for most purposes. The major cause somebody might want to use x64 hosted compilers (for 32-bit and/or 64-bit) is that a 64-bit based toolchain can consume more memory and doesn't run that fast out of it. Maybe in some cases the execution of a 64-bit native toolchain on a 64-bit Windows host is a bit more performant, too. The latter is mainly caused by not needing the WoW-layer here.
