After reading this little write up:
http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu/print/sempron-3100-oc.html
I have decided to build a rig using this setup for a friend on a budget. I know the Paris core was used in the test, but when searching around for it, I found both the Paris core and a Palmero core. The differences I noticed is that the Palermo core is actually a 64-bit processor at 90nanos where the Paris is not.

So my question is, which will overclock faster in the end?
(Planning on using quality PC3500 or 4000 RAM and an NF3 mobo)

I'd go with Palermo personally. Paris is the older 130nm version.

Reports on the Palermo suggest it overclocks nicely. It's also 64-bit as you say, which is nice (when we get Vista and 64-bit programs :p ).

They managed to OC to almost 2.4GHz on stock voltages in this review.
