I shoot "raw + jpeg" with Vibrant image tone, contrast +1, saturation set to neutral, sharpness +1, (not fine sharpness because it sharpens noise). I'm going to experiment with hue, because I'm finding the K20D a bit cool, especially compared to slightly warm K100D colours.
I believe Portrait image tone uses the same default settings as Vibrant. Natural results in colours that are a little bit flat, more intended for post-processing. Vibrant will get you accurate colours with a little pop, but not exaggerated like Bright and Landscape.
My jpegs are 2mp; more than sufficient size for a monitor or web display. They don't take up much memory and are emailable in bunches.
Edit: I just did some experimenting with Hue, in sunlight, tungsten and fluorescent light, and will be leaving it set to +2. The K20D is definitely too blue at the default settings, which is very odd because the K100D is the opposite, too yellow. At least with the K20 the hue is adjustable.
