for most things. currently Chuck, SC, and PD all work most effectively and bug-free on 32bit systems. even if you have a 64bit system, youre goign to run into issues connecting your 32bit chroot apps to a 64bit jackd, etc. if you use exclusively those 3 apps (and/or macromedia flash) id proabyl sue a 32bit OS.

as for distrii, paludis + gentoo works a treat
