Standby, hibernate, turn off HD

When setting the screen saver options, should turning off the hard drive be
set before, during or after the other two options?

Then useful settings might be:

turn off monitor @ 1 hr
t o HD @ 2 hr
standby @ 3 hr
hibernate @ 4 hr?

in power settings, i have an 'away' profile
i use it at night before going to bed
it will turn off monitor after 1 min, then hd after 15
then in the morning will change to 'always on' or 'presentation'
everyone is different, but just giving an idea of what you can do
