If change of platforms is not part of the task, then I strongly disagree. Export/Import is riskier and slower.
Upgrading the software and performing the 32-64 bit update according to the plentiful documentation on Metalink is faster and safer than exporting and importing. It's really the only viable option for a database of any size.
