gnome2 is end of life. i'll assume HFCE was supposed to be XFCE, and
thats what we have decided to ship with ubuntustudio... unity or
gnome3 would be fine as well, if thats what you want to use.
ubuntustudio *is* ubuntu, so you can just use whatever parts of the
ubuntustudio metapackages, or the applications that make up those
metapackages with whatever environment you choose. not sure you are
are asking about a 64bit real time kernel, or what environment would
work best with a 64bit realtime kernel.. either way, we ship
ubuntustudio with a lowlatency kernel by default. this is available in
the normal repos and can by installed in the default ubuntu
installation easily if you want. 64bit or 32, doesnt matter...
i would just whatever you are comfortable with, and keep in mind you
can fire up the ubuntustudio live DVD and see what our XFCE
implementation is like.. enjoy!
ps AVlinux ships with the LXDE environment, which is also a nice
workspace. you could install lubuntu and ubuntustudio-audio for example...

I have found XFCE in Ubuntu Studio to work really well. I have used
other distros with XFCE and they were nowhere near as good as the way it
is implemented in Ubuntu Studio.
I have tried Unity and did not like it, although it might work really
well on a tablet PC. If you like Gnome 2, then you can always try MATE
which is a continuation of that but more up to date. Gnome 3 Shell is
not much good, you get hardly anything on the desktop and it is really
hard to do anything. But there is a version of Gnome 3 called Cinnamon
which works really well.
If you are new to Linux or Ubuntu in general, then the default XFCE is
worth trying out first, and there is no need to install another desktop
as it can still run Gnome apps without installing the Gnome desktop.
