    As the title asks, I never use hibernation and would love to get that extra gig of space back, but if I delete it, can I get it back later on?

    That was true under XP but not as simple under Vista. I found out the hard way. One of the options in the Disk Cleanup utility will delete the hibernation file for you. But after you do that the Hibernate option no longer appears in the power settings. But there is a way to get it back. Here is a quote from Microsoft Knowledgebase article #928897:
