In the Mavericks OS, when setting up Windows 7 in Boot Camp, should I choose 64 bit or 32 bit when I set it up?

Also if I buy Parallels 9 can I also run Win XP through Parallels and or Windows 7 on Boot Camp?

Choose the Windows 7 x 64 bit as that will allow you to utilize all your memory not just 3.3 Gb which the 32 bit version restricts it to.

Answer to your second question is yes. You can run both a Windows XP VM in Parallels 9 and a dual boot to Windows 7 with the Boot Camp assistant. Of course you can't do both at the same time.... ;)
