I use JPEG for events (I.E. SEMA) where PP doesn't really matter since what you to show your clients what happened in that event. Plus you can't tell other bystanders/photographers to move out of the way simply because they are in the way of your shot. Or are you going to clone out a hand or someone's face because it was in the way? Hell no. You want to upload that event A.S.A.P. Show your clients this is what happened and this are the stuff that's in the event. Even if you have three 2GB CF's, you'll run out of memory before the event ends.

I use RAW for published work. RAW can adjust the exposure better than a JPEG without sacrificing quality. Try adjusting your image as a JPEG file and try adjusting it as a RAW file, look at your histogram...every adjustment you make on the JPEG will result in a spiky graph. Now compare it when you're adjusting the RAW file smoother right? You just don't lose that much detail when editing RAW files as opposed to editing JPEG files.

Both JPEG and RAW have advantages and disadvantages. If you have all the time in the world and you really want your images to stand out I suggest shooting in RAW (Even for web based applications). If you go to events or where ever wherein things can happen in a split second, hot damn you want to click your damn camera as fast as you can right? JPEG is for you.
