Opening the lid brings the computer out of suspension.  Easy.  I'm not terribly worried about battery consumption, as I don't have a battery.  My main concern is power consumption - the computer uses almost no electricity while in suspension.  I suppose I could just power down between sessions, but I like being able to just pop the lid and get working.

On my VM Windows I prefer to suspend state to hd since it makes booting faster. I've never had a problem that way. On my Mac laptop, I want the machine off when I'm not using it. If ram gets corrupted, I don't know what would happen. Since I rarely run on battery power, I don't need to chance it.

If Apple sold their MacPro's with ecc ram, then that would help.
