Going from experience, the only reason I'm using the 64-bit version of Hardy at the moment is because I have 4GB of ram. The 32-bit version only seems to support about 3.5GB out of the box (I'm sure it's tweak able to run with more). I'd say if you have less than 4GB memory, stick with 32-bit, especially if you want to use things like the Adobe Flash Plugin.
