Only you can answer that question.

No, Zope 2 is definitely destined to slowly fade, but that is a
process that will take years, and should have no real impact on your
decision now. The question now is how much work you think it will be
to upgrade to 2.9, vs how much work you think it will be to rewrite
the applictaion to 3.2.

And that depends in turn very much on what kind of site you are
running, what third-party products you are using and no on.
