Back in the day, Adobe Flash on amd64 was iffy, but latterly it appears 
to be fine. Certainly I've not had cause to wish I'd installed 386 in 
the past few years. I don't remember the last time I installed 386 on a 
non-server.

Even so, if you do decide for some reason that you'd prefer the 32-bit 
x86 install of Ubuntu, you can just install it on an amd64 processor.
