The behavior to pick S2I over S3 by default didn't land in 4.13, it's going to be in 4.14 however (unless reverted). What you'll want to do is change it on your system like this:
echo "s2idle" | sudo tee /sys/power/mem_sleep
That will default to s2idle for your running session. If that works well for you you can add to your kernel command line mem_sleep_default=s2idle. You can do this by modifying GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub and running update-grub.
