It is best to use "hibernate." That saves everything to the hard drive and shuts the system down, saving energy. It will boot back in a few seconds to wherever you left it. Standby is OK for short periods, but it uses more energy. More importantly, if there is a power fluctuation, the system will simply shut down and you will lose whatever you are working on.
