I tend to shoot raw+jpeg. Jpeg for the fast editing stuff.
If you shoot in RAW please briefly comment on your workflow preferences (software.)

I use the Canon EOS program to process raw, and Adobe CS2, I teach photography workshops and stick by my rules, shoot the exposure correctly to start with and you have very little work flow. Master your camera and master your understanding and control of lighting. It works like a charm.
I shoot almost everything in RAW and then work with Photoshop CS2 and Bridge. I do it because I believe the better quality is worth it, not because of a workflow advantage. In fact, I think the workflow becomes a little more difficult and time consuming.
My work flow is the same for RAW or JPEG. First I create a folder with the date and a small discription of the event like "20071201 Shutterbug Vote" then I import all those images into that folder. Then I sift through with ACDSee and delete all the unfixable (out of focus)images. Next I import into Lightroom and make minor adjustments and export into a "modified" subfolder. These are the end of the proof/family pics. Images that are used for wedding albums, portrait prints, projects or competitions get special treatment in Photoshop. With the introduction of Lightroom my work flow time has really decreased and spend alot more time behind the camera now instead of behind the computer. Hope this helps.
