Q: What is better, sleep or shutdown?

I use my Mac Pro several times a day, with a 2 to 3 hour gap between uses. In between uses, is it better to put the computer to sleep, or to shut it down?

 

By "better", I mean, what is better for the computer (in terms of wear and tear)? I need to keep this computer going as long as I can.

Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8), 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Xeon 16GB, SSD
