FWIW, A friend of mine and I ran a test on an Avid Symphony regarding 
Photo-JPEG and noticed a significant gamma level shift in the footage 
compared to animation codec. As far as I know the files were rendered 
and treated the same on import in the Avid. I have heard of folks using 
H.264 at a high bandwidth for archival if file size is an issue.

One thing to take into account if you haven't made the jump yet is that 
BlueRay discs are down to less than $1 a disc now so for archiving that 
could be an option if you were limited to DVDs earlier.
