IMHO, AMD64.  Note I am biased though.  Today more committers have AMD64
boxes than IA-64, much less 6 mo. from now.  The AMD64 platform has a
much more common i386 architecture and can share i386's packages.

AMD64, but again I'm strongly biased and this question should be taken to
chat at freebsd.org
