I frankly don't trust hibernation on any computer, using any operating system. Too much can go wrong, and testing it is so hard that I don't think any organization really has it solved. It's also hard to beat the power drain of "off". If you shut down the computer when it's not in use, the problems stated never happen. That's not a solution everyone will use, I guess, but it completely eliminates the problems and is very simple to do. I wish more problems had "simple and complete" solutions :-).

sounds like you don't know what "hibernation" is in this context. when you hibernate a computer, it serializes all of its RAM and the state of all hardware to disk then powers off. Powers off. this is not "standby." on Windows it generally works flawlessly, and when spinning disks were still the ruling storage mechanism, hibernation was always faster than shutting down and booting again later. I will admit that I haven't tried using hibernate on any machine with an SSD as a main drive since bootup is so fast with an SSD.
