Whenever I have a crapload of programs open, I use Hibernate (unless I find out I have updates waiting to be installed, then I close everything and select "Install Updates and Shut Down"). I may just shut down whenever I have only one or two programs open.
I use Sleep/Standby whenever I leave the house for a short period of time (usually to go for walks).

I usually hibernate - only at times do I put my computer to sleep. I'll restart it/shut down every so often too.

I hardly do any of the sort, with a $300 dollar surge protector with a 4hr battery life I leave my PC 24/7 unless I do updates and or cleaning out the tower with air in a can, and replacing hardware.

Sleep about 99% of the time. I shut down when it might be going under rough conditions or for extended outages without power.
VNs are superior to anime, don't @ me
