You do not loose your data with both methods as power is used for suspend to RAM.

BTW: OSX has not a "pure" suspend to disc anymore and the default method is suspend to RAM when closing the lid

Parent poster stated "What often does not work is hibernation (recover from disc)".

Which means the user loses data.

Parent poster was me and you do not loose data. Instead it just does not go into hibernation in my case :)
