In the long term your most probably find yourself using RAW. In general the advantages far outweigh any disadvantages. There is an argument which Rockwell is trying to make, if all your Jpeg images are perfect then why lumber yourself with the overhead of RAW processing for little or no gain. As you become more self critical of your images you will realise that very few are perfect in all senses of the word and some post processing adjustment is required. The amount of good editing control Jpeg allows you is fairly limited. Typically only 10% to 15% before signs of image degradation show. The key thing about RAW is that it has a much wider latitude to correct problems and possibly savage a shot that would most certainly be beyond hope if Jpeg.
