Do I install 32 bit or 64 bit software when I have Lion?
I have an i5 processor.  It's certainly 64 bit capable.

I have Mac os x lion.  That's 64 bit capable.

When I want to install software, like eclipse, or git, or really any piece of software, do I install the 32 bit versions or the 64 bit versions?

I understand that I have a choice, but other than speed, will I lose anything by doing 32 bit?  I am under the impression that 32 bit software is likely more stable, so if I don't want any nonsensical coding gotchas that eat up days and days for no good reason, should I go with the 32 bit versions?
