1 & 2 doesn't use any battery life after it's been put to sleep, the screen resumes within seconds and only uses minimal battery when doing so.
3 doesn't use any battery life after it's been turned off, but it takes a while to load (the tree screen appears at this point) and uses up considerably more battery when doing so.

1 and 2 are totally different modes and draw different amounts of power. how do i know this? if you install 3.2.1 firmware on kindle dx, mode 1 will take over 15 seconds to wake up from whereas it only takes 4 seconds to wake from mode 2.
both modes 1 and 2 retain memory contents so the cpu must still be running. probably the difference between them will be wifi/3G...maybe mode 2 switches radio functions off.
