If you have the proper ventilation and a good PSU you could leave your pc running 24/7 if you wanted to. Personally I prefer Sleep mode since its a faster method to shut down and boot up from it than hibernation, plus hibernation can lead to some problematic situations if the file gets corrupted.

^Just like he said sleep is better for desktop since you want it to resume work immediately
Hibernation is more for a laptop since.
Nothing wrong with shutting down PC every night since turning off the computer will save electricity and clear out everything that is in the RAM.

What is your operating system?
Last time I use hibernation on Windows 7 upon resuming it blue screened on me.
Total lost of data and program that I was working on.
I recommend using hibernation on Windows 10.
I have no issues so far hibernating with Windows 10.
If you are using Windows 7 I recommend leaving it to sleep mode.
It doesn't use much power and you can resume immediately in less than 10 seconds.

I see no point leaving the PC in sleep or hibernate overnight or while you're at school in the day.

Shut down properly if its not going to be used for 4 hours +, if you can't wait 30-40 seconds for it to boot from cold twice a day there is something wrong with you .
