Refer the following weblink for explanation of Sleep and Hibernate modes:

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Sleep-and-hibernation-frequently-asked-questions

 

If you are away for a long time, i would suggest hibernate. But if you are away only for a short while and want the system to wake up fast, I would suggest sleep.
