I shoot Fuji. I use the RAW files almost exclusively. I do use PS.
My advice:
Download the free trial of Capture One and load your Fuji RAW files.
Don't try this if you are not willing to buy Capture One.
You have been warned.
I've done exactly this. Completely unimpressed, given the hype I've read on several Fuji-dedicated sites. I find the C1 user interface obtuse, and I achieve better results using X-Transformer plug-in via LR.
The truth is, there is no magic bullet for RAF files. Adobe have been slowly (as in glacially) improving RAF conversion for the last couple of years (and my guess is will be paying even more attention as Fuji market-share grows). As long as one knows to disable any LR detail panel defaults via preset on ingestion, the last remaining sub-optimal LR conversion attributes are eliminated. Sharpening of RAF is "it's own thing" and there is lots of useful information around on useful approaches. Typically lots of masking, high detail amounts, and "easy as you go" on amount are in order. Radius is image frequency dependent, as always. One significant sharpness robber in LR default is the color noise default. Most of the time it is way too much. I can often zero that slider out completely, or start there and only add very small increments to eliminate any color noise.
As to the OP's original question . . . there's an obvious answer there, sir! :-) And you might find this video interesting:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHvCkRTK4_g One of the discoveries I made early on was that no matter what technique, or plug-in, or whatever I used... I could not get better high ISO noise handling in my RAF files than Fuji did with its jpegs processed in-camera. Made me grumpy, actually, since I have this monster computer on my desk that "has to be better" than whatever processing power the little camera has internally... WRONG. In fact, now Fuji has this program that allows you to process your RAFs via your computer, using the camera's processing. Talk about counter-intuitive. But it works and is VERY powerful in terms of results. This is one of the reasons I'm not tempted to move to the Sony "silver-bullet da jour" craze. Fuji isn't just about sensor size, quality of glass, etc., there's a lot more going on and available in the Fuji ecosphere than is immediately apparent, and to my way of thinking, Fuji does a really poor job in explaining / marketing this aspect of their system.
