Yes, TIFF, or PSD (if you are using Photoshop) is the preferred Save_As option
for all your "working" Saves. In TIFF you can even use LZW compression, which
is lossless. For final output, if JPG is what you need, you can then Save_As
JPG with what ever setting work for you/your client.

Also, is PS, PSD will save ALL of your Layers, Channels, Paths, etc., while in
PS CS TIFF will save most of that information.
