Digital BW, The Print

yes, there's a lot to be said for that argument. But like many things
it will be hard to prove a visible real difference except on an image
by image basis. In fact you may never see a difference, but why not
always take the highest possible quality route? Every little things
may make the difference. This assumes you are processing out into 16
bit for your Photoshop work of course.
I'd do everything global you can in RAW, and use Photoshop for the
local work, and anything else RAW doesn't offer.
