Regarding to VST I don't have knowledge, because I don't use VSTs, but
IIRC I once wanted to test VSTs and there where issues with 64-bit
architecture. But IIRC I wanted to use Windows VSTs on Linux. I guess
using them with Reaper in wineasio should work, but you better ask at
http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user .
For Linux audio production I'm using 64-bit since years, just at the
moment I've got a Debian 32-bit install on my machine too. I haven't
done any audio production with 32-bit yet, but IMO the GUI performance
on 64-bit architecture using linux-rt is better, than on 32-bit
architecture. But in a "blind" test I perhaps couldn't notice the
difference for the performance.
