If you were running 64 bit everything, then obviously, you would use
the 64 bit packages.

But you are running IIS and PHP in 32bit mode, so, for ease of
compatibility, the 32bit packages (x86 rather than x64) are what I
would be using.

In terms of which one you want to use, well, you have to get the Native Client.

From there you can either use odbc (built into PHP for Windows) or use
the MS SQL Driver for PHP.

Both of them use the Native Client.

As the MS SQL driver is fairly new, you may want to stick with the
ODBC route within PHP.
