I would say 32 bit. 64-bit doesn't allow unsigned drivers (those not explicitly approved by microsoft) and I don't know if everything for the Mac is signed.

Also, software can be a bitch for 64-bit. Unless you know that you need 64-bit (like if you have a real need for more than 4GB of memory) then stick with 32-bit.

32-bit will work, not sure if Apple is enabling the motherboards on mac books for 64-bit, I would doubt it. I know their OS supports but I haven't seen that the hardware does.
