I run 64bit SL 4.4 on all servers that accept 64 bit mode. I find everything just runs faster than the 32 bit equivalents and consider, why not? The only reason I could think of running 32bit on a 64bit platform is if the software app I was using wouldn't be stable running 64bit. My advice is to install 64bit, test it for a couple of weeks with your apps, if you're happy with it stay with it, if not, re-install 32bit SL.
