My question is, does putting the phone in sleep mode using the top button do the same thing or is other way better to conserve the battery?

hmmm. when I double-click on the home button when not in sleep mode it shows the last 4 apps I used, not apps that are running. When in sleep mode it double-clicking on the home button gives me access to ipod controls. I have an iphone 3.

Apple says that in iOS4 if you double-click the home button it lets you multitask.
