I play on a server. My home is at -3300 4000. I want to make those chunks always loaded, no matter what. Do I need a local chunk loader or a one that is linked to the spawn chunks? The spawn is at 0 0, but probably the spawn chunks arent. How do I know where are them?

"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that bring total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."
If the spawn point is at 0,0 then the spawn chunks will surround this area, the two are interlinked. In which case then this will work very nicely
Bear in mind any redstone will work so long as the chunk it's in is loaded. Entities must have a 5x5 area around them loaded to operate. If you're wanting to run mob farms of some description, the entire area and a 2-block perimeter must be loaded. I believe crops only update in player loaded chunks too, but that's unconfirmed.
So, basically I need to place down a redstone wire from spawn to my home? Oh, God, so many blocks! But if that's the only choice, whatever.
I saw many chunk loaders before, but they need to be linked to the spawn chunks somehow.

Sadly that's the only way to keep the area loaded. Also, redstone wire is temporary loading, if you want to permanently load the area you need hopper chunk loaders.
May I ask why you want the area to always be loaded? There could be an alternative for whatever you want to do.

Actually, its not a farm or anything like that. I wanted to make an enderpearl transportator. It starts at the top of my tower (-3300 255 4000) and i wanted to extend it a little further; having in mind that the enderpearl is gonna travel 60 blocks with the launcher, I'll make floating stations that are going to bounce the enderpearl once more, and it repeats for hundreds of blocks. I would like to make all the stations loaded, so the enderpearl doesnt unload or break in stationary slime blocks. ("Lazy-chunked" slime blocks).

Cool. Something worth noting about KillTrot's response is to make the hopper chunk loader you have to put items in the hoppers (as of 1.7.4 I believe).
However, there is a better way of doing what you're trying to do. Don't forget, that enderpearl teleporter would be really expensive, especially when there is a much better way of doing it.
There's a little more science to it, namely getting things like wireless redstone and instant two-way repeaters. Sadly, the 1.9 update breaks all known practical, wireless redstone for survival (there are still versions that exist, but they're limited in various ways that make them unusable).
Seeing as that's the case, the current best solution is two-way instant repeaters. The most resource efficient two-way instant repeater is described in redstonejazz's video linked in the playlist.
Wow, sure there are some complicated mechanisms but I dont think this would ever fit on a tower (maybe on a bee, there are tons of them spread on the server; Thanks, Steamer_Douglass!).
By the way, the hopper chunk loader works only for 1.7.4? Aww, I wanted it to work in 1.8. Maybe, if the server was 1.7, we could put tons of this loader on the server, in the farms, so they all produce. If this works for 1.8, call me!

If one is on my tower, and the hopper loader is within the visible or lazy chunks. Will the other 'enderpearl bumpers' kepp loaded? Once I load the loaders (wut?), will the bumpers start to bump?

Ready to have your mind blown?
Pow.
Yeah, that exists, and it's awesome. Here's a playlist I made with some of the most important videos regarding the subject.
