If I don't shoot raw...what is the best setting?
TIFF if you have it, but it is rare to fine it on a camera, or the finest (largest) jpeg setting.

largest JPEG setting is your best bet if not shooting RAW.

I agree with the largest jpg format, Arnod
Yes, Largest/finest setting
That's hard to say; what best settings do you want to not shoot RAW at?
Silliness aside, once you've elected to not shoot in RAW, the question is reduced to how large are you likely to want to enlarge to. Because whether you shoot in JPEG extra-fine, fine or standard, you will have given up the same level of editing ability.
If your p hotography leans in the direction of Fine Art, then there is no choice; you must learn to shoot in RAW. Failure to do so is like saying that you refuse to draw circles because it's too hard, all the while refusing to use a compass.
Don't forget, if you choose to use JPG, then most cameras have other settings that will pre-process the image. Like "landscape" setting. It will usually give the image deeper blues and greens as in skies and grass. "Portrait" will tone the colors a bit while increasing contrast a bit. There are a bunch of different settings in the camera that you can set. White balance can have a huge affect on your photos too. You can choose cloudy, sunny, fluorescents, tungsten, and many more. Play with these settings and have fun.
