For me I shoot both at the same time JPG basic (smallest size) and RAW NEF on both my D50 and D300. I usually only edit and use the JPG file however I save the RAW for future in case I want to do more with the photos later (ie better resolution/quality or raw edits ie white balance adjustments). I have a few times taken pics with the white balance at the wrong setting and with RAW it was simple to fix. I find that NX Capture does the best job on converting NEF RAW to a usable format it TIFF. As Lightroom messes up the color balance for some reason hence I use the JPG more often. Mind you at 25mb per uncompressed RAW they take up a lot of disk space. (can always use compression on NEF as well and it will be around 5mb for 6mb pixel camera (d50) and 10-11mb on my D300 at 12mb pixel.
