I understood partially..
You do not spell out what type of application you going to develop.
For web, it might be much more easier since the only computers you need to have a look into is web server and database server only. So just make sure these computer works fine with your applications then all other will be ok.
x64 have advantage over larger bus size, larger memory adressing and new data type like QUADWORD (registry), INT64 and etc, http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa384264(v=vs.85).aspx
When you develop application for 3D, image processing, floating number crunching, crytogrphy and/or you plan to use 64bit libraries like zlb - you should go for 64 application for faster application processing.
However, if your user still using 32bit OS, your application (except for web application) won't be able to execute. So you have to make sure that ALL your user are running 64bit OS
