What benefits do you see to a 64 OS on the desktop?
You probably won't keep bumping into things that still accidentally have a 2 gig file size limit like you do with 32 bit linux (even though it hasn't been necessary for years). And your clock will keep working past 2038.
Please, let Leonardo say what _he_ thinks important. It's his computer.
As for the 2 Gbyte filesize, I know just one program with the problem.

And I want to run other systems inside VMware - including 64-bits guests.
So x86_64 might bring some benefits - or some more headache.
