32bit will work just fine to 64bit consumes more ram so if your low on that stick with 32bit.

If you had 32-bit 10.04 and did an in-place upgrade, you would receive the 32-bit 12.04. You cannot simply upgrade from 32-bit to 64-bit, you must do a reinstall.
For more info on the difference between 32-bit and 64-bit, here is a good place to start. The original issues associated with running 64-bit have disappeared (I simply haven't seen any) and it's worth considering if you are doing a new install or setting up a new PC.
Peace,
