I personally feel Hibernating a laptop is most reliable method as i always use this method and it never cost me any damage.
thanks

Sounds interesting as I've just had my first freeze after resuming  . I put my laptop to sleep and I forgot to remove the USB drive that I had plugged in. I plugged the drive before I opened the lid but the laptop froze while I was typing my password into the screen saver dialog box.

It shouldn't be freezing IMO. I have resumed multiple times with a "drive" inserted. It is actually a usb broadband stick, but it comes up in linux as a cd drive for some weird reason. (the broadband connection itself happens without any interaction with the linux system). Other than that, I have a usb logitech mouse receiver permanently occupying one usb slot. And it has always survived daily suspend-resume cycles (for more than a month at a stretch).

I guess so. That was the only difference from the last times. I also have OpenGL screensavers and sometimes one of them is active while the computer wakes up, maybe that's just a coincidence.
