I don't think 8 hours of idle is exactly going to threaten your battery life. Well, of course that assumes you have wireless and any energy eating apps (like GPS and media player) turned off.
i agree with you that it won't make a huge difference, but shutting it down and rebooting uses noticeably less battery power vs. leaving it on standby for 8hrs., doesn't run the battery down as much and therefore will extend the lifespan of the battery. it also kills those weird modest mail loops asking for the "correct" password i get sometimes.
