Personally, I always shoot JPEG+RAW, on any camera, and I also adjust the jpeg-settings in-camera to my personal liking. With Canon that means slightly up on sharpening and colour, as by default the jpegs are too neutral to me. This way they look similar to Nikon jpegs 
.
With the Olympus, it means they stay on default - the jpegs are truly excellent IMO. With Panasonic they need a little extra colour.
This way, I have acceptable jpegs at all times, and the RAWs for the special stuff, whether for corrections or otherwise.
I learnt the hard way that I do indeed need RAWs too - the first few months in digital, about 10 years ago already, I accidentally only shot jpegs
, and got bitten by a shot that required extensive work in Photoshop due to some weird reflections. What I could do was limited with the jpeg, I wish I had had the RAW back then.
I guess that if they like the Canon and Nikon best, wha they are saying is that they like the relative good neutral processing.
Kind regards, Wim
