I think its just a matter of equipment compatibility. We have a 32-bit ASN
and I think most new applicants get those. I had the same question when I
joined ARIN and from what I found at the time, it didn't seem to matter. A
quick google search on which to apply for resulted in this answer:
If you are using the latest equipment and software and your upstream
provider supports 32-bit ASNs, apply for a 32-bit ASN. If you are using
older equipment and software, apply for a 16-bit ASN.
