If you have to ask that the answere is nearly always stable, i.e. i386
woody.
If you want to try out the amd64 port be prepared for problems,
downtime, working around bugs, keeping on top of things. Many people
have successfully installed it and use it daily but compared to the
testing the stable i386 underwend over the years that a minor portion.
And the amd64 port is testing/unstable. Things break (or get fixed)
daily.

We are working on getting a compiler into sarge that will let you
compile x86_64 kernels. So far you cannot but need to download extra
debs.
