If you are concerned enough about image quality to consider that you might ever want to post process (other than cropping and the like) then you must shoot RAW to give the maximum flexibility for so doing

Agreed. If I actually care about what I'm shooting, I go RAW. If I'm just shooting snapshots for Facebook or whatever, I go JPG.

I also shoot RAW when I'm shooting handheld in very low light because that way I can underexpose a little, and then pull up the brightness & highlights in post a lot better than JPG does.
