I won't say all my experiences with suspend are rosy, but it works more often than not. Just this morning I suspended my laptop twice. I put it on my docking station while it was on and everything worked. Well, except the scroll wheel of my external mouse. So that's why I suspended the second time. When I resumed on the dock, it Just Worked(tm). I can even use hibernate sometimes, the problem there being that like a fool I made my swap partition too small.
