Can't you just use the Suspend button? :)
I'd be inclined to initiate suspend-to-disk when the laptop's lid is closed, or when I press the suspend button if ACPI would be so accomodating. After closing the lid, if I change my mind there's only two inputs I can do quickly: press the Suspend button, or open the lid. SysRq-Escape would take a couple of seconds longer due to needing to open the lid.
Of those, I'd be worried about the fragile lid switch occasionally bouncing as I moved the laptop, causing it to fail to suspend in my bag. The button is well protected.
