I'm not omniscient, but I can think of at least a few reasons from the top
of my head:
* Hibernation doesn't work well on your hardware, but suspend does. This
can mean that hibernate doesn't work at all, or that it fails randomly in 1
out of 10 attempts (my personal experience, some firmware is just lovely).
* You prefer fast wake-up time (or e.g. that you don't need to decrypt your
hard drive again) to a longer hibernation resume and you know it won't be
long before you're going to wake up the device (e.g. an office laptop, to
be woken up each morning).
FWIW this is exactly my use case. I keep my main laptop plugged in in
my office, and close to lid to suspend it each evening. Some time the
next day I'm gonna open it again. I'd prefer it wake up quickly, and as
it's plugged in, there's no need for it to hibernate.
