OK, this is my first install of Gentoo, now my question is which would be a better idea to use? The 64-bit version of gentoo (I have A64) or the 32-bit? Im asking this cause i know the 64 bit one is a lil newer. TIA all

64bit is usually faster. You may experience some difficulties with setting up mozilla with 32bit plugins, mplayer with win32codecs and wine, however you can compile 32bit binaries of those and run instead.
