I use Ubuntu btw. Poweroff could use more write cycles on the SSD because it has to read everything at startup, but suspend has to keep supplying power to the RAM

Suspend. The amount of power required to keep RAM alive is negligent.
I believe, based on context, that you mean to use the word “negligible.” The sentence means the opposite of what you intended it to mean if you use “negligent.” As in, “It would be negligent to waste that much power.”
I agree with negligent! Using suspend to ram for extended periods, eg nightly or over weekend will kill your battery life.
