I guess the following question would be why do you choose one over the other?

If you want to make any adjustments to the photo then shoot RAW, jpeg compresses the image, before you ever see it with leaves compression artifacts and a lower bit depth (which helps with shade gradations, colors, skin tone, etc.) You can always save as jpeg after you're done, I could go on but I need to restrain my inner photo nerd.

Raw - when shooting photos, you know you will want to edit later.
JPG - for those photos you wnat to upload on lookbook, facebook or myspace asap.

Both, Jpeg for quick Bridge reviews and sketch edits once that's done you edit the raw file after the sketch, voila.

I always shoot raw. Never now when you're going to end up with something amazing.

Jpeg for me, It's still just as easy to edit as Raw.

Neither; TIFF.
RAW is good, but can be a pain in the ass if you don't have a good converter.
JPEGs are meant for uploading to the internet; each time you re-save a jpeg, it compresses the file and loses information (hence it is known as a "lossy" format).
TIFF is the best, as it is easy to work with, and no data loss upon repeat saves.

Shoot in RAW, save in TIFF for editing, then 'save as' in JPG for a shot going on the internet.
However there's no point in shooting in RAW if you don't have a good converter. If you can't find a good one then just stick with JPG fine.

What kind of edits would be different from editing in a jpeg format?
I've taken shots in raw, but they don't upload to my cs3 so i'll need to load the converter disc that came with my a200.

I haven't used jpeg, I don't think my camera has a setting for it.
I keep it in RAW at all times though. I love it. Good results!
