Back in the days of the Wallstreet model, I read some things about 
sleeping a portable computer is healthier for power 
supply/battery/power management unit.  Something about restarting 
stressed components out more so than on desktop models.  I don't know 
if it was true then or true today, but it started me sleeping my 
powerbook and I haven't looked back.

Especially with the Ti's ability to auto-sleep when you close the 
lid, the ease of use issue is the greatest issue for me.  While I 
always save my work before sleeping ;-) the ability to leave apps 
open (with the exception of most Adobe products -- they always crash 
during sleep anyway) and resume computer use immediately... that is a 
definite value to me.
