That's an interesting question... I did a quick Google search (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Vist+64bit+or+Vista+32bit) for you, and came up with the following article:
http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/1426/vista_64_bit_or_32_bit_version_x64_vs_x86
I also glanced at some of the other articles in the search results, and the short answer is this: While Vista64 is marginally faster then Vista32 on benchmarks, third party support for 64-bit drivers and software just isn't there yet, and you lose a great deal of backwards compatibility with Vista64. I would recommend that you go with the 32-bit version.
