On the server, it's 64 bit by default except some rare (and now vanishing) cases when that won't work for some odd reason.
For servers, 32-bit installations are our norm in only two cases: Xen VMs, which in our environment tend to have limited memory, and 32-bit development machines. In the latter case, I don't want the developers to have to remember some chroot or odd gcc invocation to get 32-bit binaries.
