This pertains just to maximized/fullscreen/minimized frames.  The best strategy 
(for X anyway) is to create non-maximized/non-fullscreen frames where there 
where saved and let the window manager move them if it so wishes.  

Maximized/fullscreen frames should be created with the corresponding frame 
parameter, and don't try to first create them where there where in their 
un-maximized/un-fullscreen state and then make them maximized/fullscreen.  I 
don't know if it is different on W32, but maximized/fullscreen is not about 
setting some size, it is about setting a state.  The window manager sets the 
size.  So if I saved a maximized frame on a small monitor, it will be maximized 
when i restore the desktop on a larger monitor.  The window manager takes care 
of it, Emacs does not need to emulate a window manager.
