my Canon 40d has the option to shoot either RAW or sRAW, which as I understand it outputs a raw file of approx 6 megapixels, with all the raw flexibility of the other one but less of the resolution, hence smaller file size.

could be it's different with your camera/ other brands, but the smaller one should be essentially just as high in quality, just fewer megapixels to play with, so probably not the best choice if you were considering larger prints from the shot.
