You don't need either, you either use the 64-bit version (recommended) or the 32-bit version of Windows.
Or are you talking about something else? Boot Camp Assistant is 64-bit btw, but it does not matter for what bit version of Windows you want to install.

For Snow Leopard, it doesn't matter whether you are running the OS with its 32-bit kernel or its 64-bit mode (if you even have a Mac with 64-bit EFI). As for Windows, if you have a Core 2 Duo, then there's no reason not to use 64-bit Windows 7, but you have the choice to use 32-bit if you so fancy.
