Try the Live Media of both options, 32-bit and 64-bit. As of March 1, 2016, you won't be able to use Google Chrome with the 32-bit option, but you might get better performance.
I say this because I installed 64-bit on a medium spec machine and it didn't perform as expected. When I installed 32-bit on the same machine, it worked noticeably better. You don't have to do a full install like I did, but trying before installing using the Live CD/Media option could be revealing.
P.S. For the same concern you've issued, I now have prebuilt LL images in 32-bit and 64-bit with the help of Systemback. When helping a new user get with Linux Lite, if I'm on the fence about which version to install, I can try out either option in a matter of minutes to see which works better.
