Since your main moto is to save power so in that case you should hibernate your system because in hibernation it saves an image of your desktop, including all open windows and files. Then it powers down your computer just as if you had turned it off. When you turn your computer on again, your windows and files are open just as you left them, and at the same time in standby it reduces the power computer uses to almost nothing. When you select Standby, the power to your screen, hard drive, and peripheral devices is cut. However, the power to the computer's memory RAM is maintained so your open files stay open.
