The differences between Hibernate and stop are as per the following documentation.
The major difference is whether the memory state is saved or not.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ec2-instance-lifecycle.html#lifecycle-differences
It is not recommended to take snapshots with Hibernate.
Basically, when creating a snapshot, it is better to take it while the system is stopped.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/instance-hibernate-limitations.html
If you create a snapshot or AMI from an instance that is hibernated or has hibernation enabled, you might not be able to connect to a new instance that is launched from the AMI or from an AMI that was created from the snapshot.
