I always shoot RAW + JPEG. I shoot Fuji and most of the time the out-of-camera JPEG files are adequate, however, if the scene has too much dynamic range I use the RAW files to recover the highlights and/or shadow as necessary.
I ALWAYS shoot raw. It gives me the most latitude in post-processing. I shoot 24MP on a Nikon D610, and my MacBook Pro is fast enough that I don't have a problem waiting for the previews. The MacBook Pro has a built-in SD slot for very fast importing of the files. I make all my adjustments in Lightroom, and only output JPEGs as needed, then delete them after exporting, since the adjustment data is kept in the Lightroom catalog.

I always shoot 3 high speed bracketed RAW's (-1EV, 0EV, +1EV), to create an floating 32bit TIFF file, for maximum amplitude. Greetings Ruud.

I shoot RAW the majority of the time. When I have to turn something around on social media quickly, I'll shoot both and post quick jpgs and then do the final work on the RAW image.

Raw is the way to GO! Once my chosen raw files have been picked for cleanup, I then convert them to jpeg if needed. "LOVE THAT RAW STUFF". mALDON

I shoot raw+jpeg because the jpeg sidecar files preview faster in Lightroom. Granted, I'm shooting 36MP files with my a7r and LR takes a while to generate thumbnails with files that big. I don't use the jpegs for anything else.

RAW, always. If I need JPEG, I export to the needed size from Lightroom (or Save for Web from Photoshop).

Shoot raw 95% of the time--our digital class in our photo club is pretty convincing about the higher quality that raw files afford and the better prints that can be created---

I always shoot both. Some magazines I shoot for prefers JPEG, others are RAW.
