The main difference, and I am sure smarter people than me will correct me, is that the 64 bit is more efficient with multiple core processors and if you have more than 2 GB of RAM installed. The 32 bit will run on 64 bit machines, I am installing it on my home machine since I have only 2GB of RAM

It depends on what cpu you have. Does it support 64 bit? If so, go with that. It's faster.
