Suspend/Resume will consume at most swap space corresponding to the used RAM (i. e. with compression and dropping of buffers/caches, it can be far less). However, this swap space is not used during runtime but only on suspend, so if there is no need to suspend under heavy load (used swap usually indicates heavy load on a desktop and I fail to imagine a reason why you’d like to suspend a server…), swap the size of RAM is definitely enough.
