Really nooby question about sleep/hybrid/hibernate/shutdown

[xcas]

Just got a brand new desktop on an SSD with Windows 10 and a glorious GTX 980 Ti. I realized that I've never given this much thought: should I sleep, hybrid sleep, hibernate, or shut down? So far I've been pretty much solely hibernating and shutting down maybe once every few days to keep the OS stable. I'd hate to think I was causing long term damage, though.
Opinions across the web seem pretty varied, I just wanted to get the opinion of someone I know to be well informed, so I came to these forums. Should I shut down every night? Hibernate? Enable hybrid sleep? If I leave my computer intermittently, is it okay to frequently put it to sleep? Thanks, just a little concerned is all.

When using a Desktop I usually use sleep.

Same here. I put it to sleep every day several times (no hibernation because I have a SSD), and I reboot my system about once every 2-3 weeks (unless there is an update that requires a restart).

Preventing Windows from hibernating saves some writes. I know it isn't a huge savings, but doing every time would add up over time.

Yeah, I looked around a bit and decided that the best option is to disable hibernation to save writes and space and also disable fast startup, which happens automatically when you turn off hibernation.

I'll keep putting it to sleep and do a full restart every once in a while then. Great, thanks!
