64 Studio would seem like an obvious choice but because I would like
to have VST's available, I seem to recall that is a possible issue?
Any issues that come up with windows vsts on a 64 bit Linux are gonna
bite no matter which distro you choose. Note that there are native Linux
vsts and a large amount of native Linux plugins these days so you should
be able to find an alternative to your favourite windows vst plugins if
they don't work over wine.
A couple of major benefits from going with 64Studio is that you get
access to paid support and a realtime kernel ootb.

Beyond that, is there any other advantage(s) to using
a x64 OS other
than RAM access beyond 4gb? Is there any 32 bit OS performance
degradation when installed on a x64 machine?
Thanks,
Russell
