TIFFs aren't compressed unless you specifically save them with a compression scheme. If you do that make sure to use either LZW or ZIP since those are lossless, whereas JPEG will throw out image quality.
I typically save to TIFF with lossless compression all the time, but in the old days (the nineties) this could be problematic with programs with poor support for "advanced" TIFF options, but those days are long gone.
ZIP tends to be the smallest while LZW is a bit more compatible (FCP7 is the only app I know of that can't read zipped TIFFs).
