Default Re: \"Stand By\" vs. \"Hibernate\" vs\"Power down\"

Depends why you don't want to power it off completely, really. If it's to preserve your desktop state (ie, come back to all applications as you left them), then Hibernate - this writes the memory to disk so isn't using power while you're away. Only use Standby if you need to be able to get back to where you were really quickly.
