I like the modern Power Options which are perfected in Win7.
I can walk away from the PC without concern for whether I'm coming back in an hour or a week. If less than an hour, I just move the mouse and it wakes up from sleep. If longer it writes my work from RAM to HD and shuts down, but starts up twice as fast when I resume it later.
If there is a power failure while it's sleeping, my work is safe since it's already been written to HD when entering sleep thanks to Hybrid Sleep being enabled.
I still Shut Down when I know I'm done for the day, but otherwise I just walk away without having to think twice thanks to Win7 finally getting Power Options purrrfect.
