This is a subject that I know quite well...
trust me go on shooting RAW...
I was used to scan prints and to Photoshop a lot.... now with RAW I do not even use anymore Photoshop.
Is not matter only of quality but matter of non destructive manipulation you can do with a RAW file.... you can do amazing thing!!!
is not just better can non EVEN compare RAW with jpg possibility.
So...
1) make a good shot, the best you can do, always
2) make it RAW
3) use a good software.... go for Lightroom!
4) make all your manipulation you need on the raw file using Lightroom... crop/light/contrast/colours/spot/black point......... keep in mind the shot is just the beginning.... but is the most important thing.... YOU ARE IN CHARGE OF YOUR DARKROOM... this is amazing...
5) when you have finished and happy with it... export and save as
a) JPG file max resolution that you will use for print
b) DNG file as security it will keep raw info plus the modification you made
c) alway keep also original RAW copy
