You’ll start to see what all the buzz is about once you turn underexposures into perfect exposures, and once color, contrast and sharpness are ideal every time. (from DP magazine)

You don't mention what you have for hardware, software, etc., so if I were to offer blind advice, I'd say shoot both, raw and jpeg, and see what works for you.
