ideally if you get the picture right fromthe start (ie when its taken) then little neds to be done to the Jpeg. in order to share the pic with anyone online you generally need to convert it to jpeg anyhow, thus compressing it. in the end it should turn out the same, the only difference being you processing a raw and compressing it or the camera doing it for you....
as pointed out on several sites tho the are positives and negatives to both.
