On the other hand! If you do not need to export large high resolution compositions then I'd recommend the 32 bit version, as the python interface used for the plugins can have issues with the 64 bit version (most still work but some do not).

I use QGIS at home and work, and have readily had multiple copies of QGIS running for separate projects and not seen any real problems (subject to memory on the system of course). If you're trying to export large, high resolution compositions, than you'll have much more luck using a 64 bit build. Otherwise the memory limitations for 32 bit builds can be restrictive.
