The standard kernel software suspend is likely to be a better bet.
Software Suspend 2 has several nice features, but also a screamingly
large number of unnecessary ones. The most likely way that things will
work out is that useful functionality from Swsusp 2 will migrate into
the standard kernel - this has already happened to a large extent, and
the suspend to disk in 2.6.9 is impressively solid.

Of course, as with all Linux suspend support at the moment, whether or
not it works on your hardware depends to a large extent on whether your
drivers support power management. We'll probably spend a while during
the Hoary development cycle calling for testers on as much hardware as
possible in order to track down the problem cases.
