Some cameras can do both at the same time but otherwise this depends on
your needs.
if you are happy to let the camera produce (albeit high-quality) photos
for you then do jpeg. However you can never get back to your raw data
and access the pre-jpeg information.
If you want the control and quality of negatives but with extra
processing steps then use RAW
The problems with RAW is that camera makers regard itheir own RAW as
their property and are not open about the format (their is no guarantee
it wil always be supported, accessible etc)
