The benefit of hibernating your computer is that you are saving energy by having minimal power on. It doesn't shut your machine on, so you don't have to wait as long for the OS to load up.
 
This disadvantages of hibernation, from what I've experienced, is that the system can have a lot of issues pulling out of hibernation. Of course, as time goes on, machines are getting better and better so this becomes less of an issue.
 
Keep in mind that you need about 3-4 GB of free HDD space to enable hibernation. So if you are limited on space, you might want to think about not enabling it.
 
I know people who thoroughly enjoy hibernation, and I know those who despise it. It's really just a user's preference.
