You should always use a swap partition for linux, even if you have more than "enough" memory. It just works better for a very very tiny loss of diskspace.

it's nice to have in case you want to have bad computer hygiene and hibernate instead of shutting down
Even if I disable hibernate and suspend?
Swap space is good to have, but a swap file is more convenient than a swap partition
