Kitty is a forked version of putty that adds reconnect, send to tray and stored username/password. The auto reconnect works after the machine awakes from sleep as well. It's been very stable for me. FREE :)

Might not be as useful or convenient for you as it is for me, but I use screen in my ssh sessions and it has the option of resuming and a broken connection with screen -R so long as you connect to the same server (my uni provide 3 servers which they can allocate or you can explicitly choose).
