The fundemental diference between hibernation and stand by mode is that the former requires a bit of power and the later doesn't. When you put your system in to hibernation mode, it sleeps without closing your programs and you can start working wherever you left before. Technically it shouldn't harm the system. But I will be a bit careful about the stand by mode particularly when I don't have enough of back-up power. Also Vista systems are designed in such a way that when you are running out of power, then the system automatically gets in to hibernation.
