Suspend to RAM lasts only a few days; Hibernate to disk will last a week or so.

These are completely different use cases, if one doesn't use the laptop every day.

I think it depends how much RAM you have. I have a Dynabook X30 with 8 GiB of RAM that seems to last about a week, and an X40 with 32 GiB that lasts a couple of days. Which makes sense since it takes more power to keep more RAM refreshed.

I don't use hibernate at all any more because it's disabled by Secure Boot. :/
