When converting to raster anything that had a line work edge will no longer have 2400ppi along it's edge (at least that's what a scitex brisque RIP renders vor vector) your vector edge will always be determined by the final output RIP.when it flies through a RIP it's usually 1200-2400ppi on the edge. To answer your question you have to ask yourself what do you really want to look vector and what do you want raster. You can save out an illustrator EPS for just your type and then raster your base art and recombine them so you have vector text and raster background...
CMYK values shouldn't shift because illustrator is just filling shapes with your color callouts. where you may get a shift is if you raster your background art then bring it into photoshop and convert or tag it with an icc profile then the profile will shift the color. sometimes people have the p-shop color settings set to automatically convert images into the users working color space. raster at 100% of the actual output size doesn't look bad. type will always look a little fuzzy though.
