Re: Archiving
And please, do enlighten me of the benefits and losses.
Does it change anything in the EXIF or GPS data, etc.?

Re: Archiving
why do you want to convert your RAW to DNG? just keep the sidecar (and don't forget to update it every time you upgrade your PS/LR software, and also replace the ones in your backup).
DNG is an interesting way to send files to some one else (a graphic designer, a newspaper...) with all the corrections on it, so your interface only needs to export at their working color space.

Re: Archiving
My thinking is that you always want the original. Who knows that if 5 years down the road someone will be able to come up with a new algorithm that can extract a better final result out of the RAWS (look at LR4 vs 2/3)? It would be a shame if it didn't work as well on DNGs, wouldn't it? Also, you can always export to DNGs later.
