Generally speaking for simply viewing or printing to a reasonable size then
there's not much difference, but if you plan to manipulate the images, ie
sharpening, then you are best keeping as much information in the image as
possible, and minimising artefacts, until you are ready for the completed
image.

TIFF will store more information than a compressed JPEG, but the
disadvantage is memory space needed to store the images.
You could compromise by setting the JPEG to minimum compression and seeing
if that's good enough for you.
