I use s2disk (from uswsusp) because the compression makes for a faster resume.

uswsusp is now installed by default in squeeze, because it is
recommended by pm-utils.  pm-suspend (and pm-hibernate) will use it as
a backend.

I do have doubts about the state of the debian package though :-). I
need to get round to sending the patch I have to fix hibernation to
swap files (as opposed to a dedicated swap partitition).
