Anecdotal, but suspend has always been a huge frustration for me (T510). Between trying different video drivers and kernels and having them bork the machine I decided to see if any modern release of a distro would just work out of the box (hardware acceleration or no, whatever the OOTB Live experience gave).
My procedure was to boot the Live version, then standby and wake multiple times and see which would reliably work. I had been on Ubuntu for a while but it didn't work, neither did (maybe unsurprisingly) Mint, but Fedora just worked. I've stuck with Fedora for a while and have gone for good stretches where standby + resume would work for weeks... and then fail inexplicably.
But with Fedora it's the best it has been in the 6 years I've had this machine.
