What is the difference between:

See http://www.sqlite.org/datatype3.html for a complete description of the difference.

Or does it really mean nothing,
I remember somewhere the default column type could be integer, after
that it defaults to whatever you insert.

But I was wondering... what would the preferred type be to

A: Store Int32 - Int64 values

B: Floating point values.

A: use a declared type of INTEGER

B: use a declared type of REAL

Is there a way to alter SQLite so that a select would always return a
column as a type you want? Either in the DB file or as part of the
select.

Yes, only insert data of the declared type into the column. If you declare the column as an integer, and only insert integer values, you will always get integer results when selecting the column.
