Go with the 32-bit version, definately, it's excellent.  At first it may
seem somewhat non-intuitive but playing around for a few minutes
figuring out where everything is should take care of that.

If you've never used any type of development environment before then you
may wish to ask for help getting set up initially so you don't get
discouraged and go back to the evil 16-bit world. :)
