If you have a camera with the capabilities to shoot it, RAW format is great. Point and shoots don't usually have this feature, only the SLRs.

TIFF is good and very large. My friend is a working photog and he says that the RAW fromat that most newer cams are using is the best cause you can then save it in any format (make a jpeg version to send out in e-mails, etc.). It's large, again, but he says that storage is so cheap now that you should just go for the image quality of the larger format.
I tend to agree.

Raw is definitely the best image but this is only done on the camera itself. It gives you the most control over exposure settings.
Right below it is TIFF. This is the standard for professional print jobs such as high-res brochures, poster prints, etc.
JPG / JPEG is the best image-quality web ready format. Most images on the web are JPG.
GIF is best when speed matters. less information is saved while still trying to retain as much as the image itself.

Below TIFFs are PNGs, which are often overlooked.
JPG files are full of artefacts, even at highest settings and should only be used when displaying something for the web, NEVER as a work file.

Tiff is the rawest form to use and has the best quality, as it isn't compressed.
