We have decided to install a new CF server for internal and some external applications. Our standard is Windows 2008, MS SQL, and IIS. I plan to order the Standard version of CF server.
Should I go with a 64 bit environment?
I am leaning toward 32 bit because it looks like there are few problems. Might go with our first 64 bit server next year.

Server 08 R2 is now 64-bit only, so I'd say go 64-bit as MS are very much pushing people that way. I know historically there have been countless issues with it, but we're now running several 64-bit CF servers on 08, and we've had no issues whatsoever.
Certainly if you're going to be running SQLServer and CF on the same box, you'll almost certainly need the extra RAM.
