Personally I still use 32bit since Java and Flash don't seem to work. 
I think the majority of people in here use 32bit so to get more
"support" on problems I've stuck with 32bit.  The 64 did seem a bit
faster to me.  Also the nvidia support didn't seem to be available via
Synaptic last I tried it.
