The ARM is 64bit. The gpu is 32bit. The 3b is 1G, 32 bit will use less 
resources than 64, but...

There are a lot of bsd/s that are ARM.

Here's what FreeBSD says:
https://www.freebsd.org/platforms/arm/

Open:
https://www.openbsd.org/arm64.html (shows RPi3)
https://www.openbsd.org/armv7.html (doesn't show RPi3)

Net:
http://wiki.netbsd.org/ports/aarch64/

... more dev is happening for 64bit.
