That depends on why you want a 64-bit kernel.  If it's not in this list then
you are better off with the 32-bit one:

* You have 4GB or more of RAM
* You have more than 2GB of RAM, and a single process that needs to use most
of it
* You want to mmap files of more than 4GB, or otherwise have a process with
a 4GB+ address space
