The *ist-D allowed you to save as PEF, TIF or JPG.
Herbert Kepler recommended TIF in his Popular Photography column, so
that's what I shot in 2004.
IIRC, the TIF was available in small, medium & large, which I didn't
understand at the time. After I got home in 2005 & could buy more CF
cards fairly easily, I switched to PEF.
Continued to shoot PEF when I finally got a K10D. Began shooting DNG
files late in 2012 when I got a K20D.
Occasionally I would shoot JPEG (when I would somehow gum up the
settings) or RAW+JPEG
With the K-3 & K-1 I've shot exclusively DNG.
With the VueScan software, I can also save files from my scanners as DNG.

Always DNG, never tried PEF.
No doubt the future for Adobe's DNG is more bright than for PEF.
The earliest Pentax DSLRs up to the *istDS had no DNG. The K10D was the
first to offer DNG.
