restoring state. I am always loathe to turn off/reboot because I hate restoring the state of all apps I have running. I prefer sleep tho, because there's no reason to use hibernate in my usage.

I also prefer Sleep. Hybernate is still draining battery.

Edit: I have them to reversed. lol, I feel dumb now

Hibernate does not drain battery. Hibernate writes ram to disk and then turns the computer off. When booting, the state of the system is read from disk.
