Personally I am interested in stitching 360 full, true HDR images. I am
hoping to stitch and get as much of original data as I can. With PtGui for
eg. I am able to throw my Canon RAWs directly and proper exposure merge is
being applied. With Hugin I am forced to use 3rd party apps for conversion
into TIFF or other format witch adds one more step of possible mistake.

raw data is by no means image data, it's the raw reading from the sensor and it's awful. PTGui uses dcraw for conversion, which does a very basic job. Using dcraw you loose almost all benefits of shooting raw including correction of chromatic aberration, moiré, white balance, dead or hot pixels, highlight restoration or noise reduction. You might well get better images using jpeg straight from the camera. You don't get the full dynamic range either, since dcraw clips all channels to the lowest channel (thus avoiding a tint in clipped highlights). It is far better to use a decent and dedicated raw converter.
