That refers to the number of colors your computer will desplay. 16 bit would be 2^16 colors, or 65536 colors, 32 bit would be 2^32 colors, or 4294967296 colors. Obviously the more colors used, the better the picture will look, so 32 bit would be the way to go.
Oh yeah, 32 bit color is true color (sometimes also 24 bit color), and 16 bit is high color.
