I'm a raw fan, they have a wider dynamic range than JPEGs, more suitable
for processing. Cameras usually use next to no JPEG compression (or to
put it another way a very high quality factor - near 100%).
Raw files do have third party, open source support, so they're likely to
be readable for a long time.
That raises another solution, as long as your archive type is supported
by software that is likely to be around for a long time, you can always
convert it to another format.
It is not quite the same as saving in a format that always will be
supported.
