My 64 bit install of Chrome is working perfectly fine, although I have no idea if the flash plugin it uses is 64 bit or not.

What's the point of using Linux if you're going to use Chrome instead of Chromium?

for one thing, I disagree with my distro's update schedule for chromium, and Google has a package repository for chrome that allows me to stay on the dev channel while still using the package manager to handle updates. not to mention that I get flash, PDF, and other proprietary features that you don't get with chromium. oh, and flashplugin-installer doesn't work properly behind a proxy without docking around with system files I don't have permissions to change.
