The as-long-as-full-startup restore from hibernate mode takes away most, if not all, of the advantage of sleep mode, and hibernate mode, like sleep mode, can't be trusted - you should save open documents before using it. If you set your powerbook to always hibernate, then you lose that quick sleep/wake capability. Plus shutting down has the advantage of giving you a clean slate to work with at the next power up and you have the option of a quick sleep/wake when needed. I have not timed it, but I would estimate that shutting down and powering back up, especially with 10.4's extensive caching, is just as fast as going to hibernate and back, at least on my 2 GB RAM, 1.5 GHz PowerBook G4. Having had it in always-hibernate mode for a week or two now, I ended up switching to sleep-and-hibernate.
