x86 = 32bit
x64 = 64bit
x32 doesn't exist
32 bit apps work best on 32 bit OS
64 bit apps work best on 64 bit OS
64 bit apps will not work on a 32 bit OS
32 bit apps will work on a 64 bit OS, but it may (or may not) cause problems.
64 bit VST plugins will only work on 64 bit apps.
32 bit VST plugins will work on 64 bit apps, but again, it may (or may not) cause problems.
Like orange said, sound quality is the same.
My personal opinion? If you can go 100% 64 bit, do it. It's worth it.

sorry but x86 stands for the processor platform in general(386,486 pentium 3 and 4 and all other related intel cpu´s basically) and has nothing to do with 32 or 64 bits as such.

Which version of Windows 7 should I install: the 32-bit version or the 64-bit version?
To install a 64-bit version of Windows 7, you need a CPU that's capable of running a 64-bit version of Windows. The benefits of using a 64-bit operating system are most apparent when you have a large amount of random access memory (RAM) installed on your computer, typically 4 GB of RAM or more. In such cases, because a 64-bit operating system can handle large amounts of memory more efficiently than a 32-bit operating system, a 64-bit system can be more responsive when running several programs at the same time and switching between them frequently.

Can I run 64-bit programs on a 32-bit computer?
If the program is specifically designed for the 64-bit version of Windows, it won't work on the 32-bit version of Windows. (However, most programs designed for the 32-bit version of Windows do work on the 64-bit version of Windows.)
Device drivers designed for the 64-bit version of Windows don't work on computers running a 32-bit version of Windows. To learn how to check for drivers, see Update a driver for hardware that isn't working properly or go to the device manufacturer's website. You can also get information about driver
Most programs designed for the 32-bit version of Windows will work on the 64-bit version of Windows. Notable exceptions are many antivirus programs.
Device drivers designed for the 32-bit version of Windows don't work on computers running a 64-bit version of Windows.
