When in doubt, I bracket. That takes all of, what, a few seconds?
With the inclusion of histogram displays (all 3 channels), in modern digital
cameras, I see no need to bracket as I did for years when shooting slides.
+ Take the camera indicated exposure
+ Review the R, G, B channels in the histogram
+ Afjust if needed, as needed.
I shoot RAW and do notice a very slight difference between the in-camera
jpeg histogram and the histogram in the RAW convertor but it's not enough to
get excited about and still can be corrected in the RAW convertor.

However - in real-world shooting: I've been shooting RAW since about
March of 2008 - starting with my K10D, then the K7, and now the K5.
I've never had a problem with "not knowing what I get". The images
largely just work, especially now with the K5 and its more-accurate
metering and much-wider exposure latitude.
Certainly it's worked closely-enough that I can rely on the crappy JPEG
preview of the image to know that I'm in the right ballpark.
I just wonder what you mean by "worked closely-enough"? Have you
tweaked some settings to get the JPEG much closer to the "raw" image?
Simple question: why would I?
I mean that I get acceptable results out of the camera and have no need to
twiddle and fiddle.

But usually I find that my exposure "correction" is off the mark, and the
original uncorrected exposure that the camera chose is the most-usable.
