I'd suggest sticking to 32-bit. Thunderbird is already a memory pig, using 64-bit version would only make it worse.

Why?

My Thunderbird has been running for about 18 hours and is using over 200MB of memory already(2.0.0.6).

The same here. Thunderbird is running for 3 hours and use 216 MB virtual memory size/ 90 MB resident set size.

I am subscribing to Debian, Centos, SecurityFocus and RHEL mailing lists. Nothing special.

In 64-bit mode I wouldn't be surprised if the same usage would come out to 500MB+ memory usage.

Again why?

Of course if you have enough memory not to care to set aside half a gig to your e-mail client then go for it.
