I wouldn't really compare Suarez to Diego Costa. Yes, they both have their baggage but I think it's just different.
Suarez had his "blackout" moments when he bite players but this was more psychological problem (which he knew of and found himself a professional help to deal with it before he came to Barça) than him being a bad person or a dirty player.
I don't know Costa personally so I don't know if he's a bad person (he probably isn't) off the field but he does give me a look of a professional killer and I'd be affraid if I'd have to meet him in a dark alley, lol. But I do think that he's a much dirtier player than Suarez. Part of this is because of where he grew up (he admitted in one interview I've read years ago he was more of a fighter than footballer when he played on Brazilian streets as a kid) but I think it's also because he played for coaches like Simeone and Mourinho who don't choose means to reach their goals. They are also both good enough managers to knew they have to let Costa be true to himself if they want to get the best out of him. So in order to execute his football talent they (or better said opponents of their teams) also had to deal with Costa's "inner devil's" personality which was not always good.
