I might be wrong here, but isn't the key benefit of SSDs that they have a tiny access time? But that their read speed is about the same as a normal disk (also, I might be wrong, but I understand their write speed is average). Hibernation, in contrast, is about writing out (and reading back) a linear stream of data. So, in summary, while SSDs may well help with swap performance, I'd not expect them to be brilliant at hibernation.
