On one off jobs, especially product photography, RAW is a nice tool, though if the photographer knows what he is doing with his lighting, jpegs are just fine a lot of the time. Raw's advantage is the control over individual exposures, and it loses all of it's advantage when several hundred essentially identical exposures have to be made into jpegs to be sent to the printer. Good technique at the time of shooting is still better than trying to apply a bunch of controls when it comes time to process the pictures. It was true for film, it is still true with digital.
