I can't speak specifically for Nagios, but you should be fine running
32-bit apps on a 64-bit OS. I hear it's not uncommon to bundle some 32-
bit binaries with a 64-bit OS.

I'd probably go with the 64-bit OS in case you somehow end up needing to
run a 64-bit app on it, using a ton of RAM, etc. Although making such a
statement is practically begging to be proven wrong, I've never heard of
anyone advocating running a 32-bit OS on 64-bit hardware when a 64-bit
version was available.
