I tested the current draw on my system (Epia V 800 with PW-60 power supply). In suspend-to-ram mode it uses about 140 mA, and completely shut down it uses about 110 mA. I therefore agree with what others have said - unless you are cutting the power source to the computer when you shut down, you might as well just suspend it.
