Hi, I think that if you are sure about the architecture and the installation Media, then go for 64bit. However I would PERSONALLY say that do not try to go for 64 bit unless you are very sure about the installation disk or architecture.
However, I have heard (though not tested it myself) that upgrading to 64 bit LATER ON may create complications.
