The advantage of using software-suspend is that it only saves to disk what's necessary, so it can be faster. Unfortunately the Linux swsusp patch is not quite (not at all for most people) reliable.. :-(
Except that, afaik, BIOS suspend-to-disk simply isn't a possibility if you have an ACPI bios
The swsusp patch is not ready for prime time, and may also not be part of ACPI suspend eventually, but the ACPI developers _are_ talking regularly with Pavel Machek about it, and it seems probable that a large part of swsusp will eventually be incorporated into ACPI.
