Silly question, is Delay Disease the 3.5 version of Suspend Disease? Or is it different enough that they're still separate spell options?

Delay Disease, source: Spell Compendium (3.5)
Suspend Disease, source: Book of Vile Darkness (3.0)

Thanks for the opinions!

No need for opinions: Page 5 and 6 of the Spell Compendium provide an exhaustive list of all the spells that have been renamed/updated in that book. If the spell isn't on that list, it hasn't been updated/superseded, no matter how similar in content it is to another spell. So RAW, they both exist as printed in their respective books, despite serving much the same function.

Great, thank you!
