we shoot exclusively in RAW because it does allow more latitude with exposure etc. as has already been stated. but one of my favorite things about it is the custom white balance. LOL, sounds dumb but i am HORRIBLE about remembering to change it when shooting. i'll be in the shade and change it to the appropriate setting but then when i go back into the sun, i'll forget until like 50 shots later. with RAW, that doesn't matter because you can adjust it to whatever you want.
honestly though, RAW really is a great thing. you can save blown out areas or underexposed shadows without losing as much of the detail as you would in photoshop. if you decide to shoot that way though, i recommend Capture 1 over the 10D softwear. I think its easier to use and gets better results, in my own opinion.
