Not really. They don't make much difference, as a hazel isn't
grafted.
When I replant them is there a way that I can avoid the suckers,
i.e. planting at a deeper - or shallower - level ?
(I can't actually see any grafting joint).
No. Hazels are natural shrubs, like bay, and WILL sucker. Just
prune them out, if they get in the way.

Or coppice the hazel, which will provide you with bean poles, pea supports and supports for your herbaceous border.
