sleep just saves time when you want to use your computer. I use it all the time.

SLEEP!
Instant on, and less component stress - I only power down if I know I'm not going to use it for a couple of weeks (ie, once a year when I go on holiday)

I don't usually shut down or sleep.... ever.
I crunch WUs for Folding@Home 
when I'm away for a weekend or so I will shut down though. sleep is rarely used, however.

Neither, only display sleep. I don't like spinning down the hard disk. I'm sure technology has improved to the point where spinning it down doesn't add the wear and tear it used to, but also I don't have to deal with the hard disk spinning back up (takes a few seconds).
