Output --> Raw output with --> {Save, Preview, Scan}
I'll try with 'Scan' option.
Yes, that is what I use also.
from the help information:

Output | Raw output with
(Professional Edition only)
This specifies which operations in VueScan cause the raw scan data to be
written to a file.
If set to "Scan" (or "Preview"), the raw file is written at the same time as
the scan (or preview). In this case, the raw file has not had infrared
cleaning or grain reduction applied.
Assuming that the preview is used primarily to prepare for the final scan,
this option should normally be set to "Scan" so that the highest resolution
raw image can be saved.
If set to "Save", it is written at the same time as other files are written
(i.e. after a scan completes or when the "Save" button is pressed). In this
case, the raw file has had infrared cleaning and grain reduction applied.
It's much faster to save the raw file at the same time as the scan, since
writing the file is overlapped with scanning the data.
Advanced Option: This option is displayed when Output | Raw file is set.

Hmm, does it mean that I'd need to calibrate my scanner with W. Faust's
target slide BEFORE starting with the batch scan?
With the above setting I don't think so.
I thought that I can profile my scanner later when doing post-processing
phase from file's raw scan and that raw scan does not apply anything to
raw scan file?
With the above setting the raw files with or without the use of the .icc
profile should be the same.
What about Input --> Lock exposure option? Is it required for raw scans?
I do not know, because my scanner does not support this.
From the help information:
-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-
Input | Lock exposure
Set this option to lock the CCD exposure values to auto-exposure values
computed for the most recent preview or scan, or as adjusted manually with
the Input | RGB exposure option.
This option can save time when scanning a batch of images with similar
characteristics, e.g. a roll of film.
If you turn on this option and also clear Crop | Auto offset and Crop | Auto
rotate, then the "Scan" button will not perform a preview scan. This can
save time when batch scanning.
Note that locking the CCD exposure values doesn't lock the brightness of the
final images - it only locks the brightness of the raw scan files. To lock
the brightness of the final images, use the Input | Lock image color option.
See the "Advanced workflow suggestions" section of this User's Guide for
more information.
Advanced Option: This option is displayed when the scanner can control the
CCD exposure time.

And lastly, do you recommend saving raw scans as *.TIFF or in *.DNG
format?
I prefer TIFF, because almost all programs support this.
But DNG has also advantages.
From the help information:
-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-
Output | Raw DNG format
(Professional Edition only)
This specifies whether to write raw files in DNG (Digital Negative) format.
This allows VueScan's raw files to be read by the Adobe Camera Raw plugin or
other programs that read DNG files.
These DNG format raw files can also be read by VueScan when you set Input |
Source to "File".
Advanced Option: This option is displayed when Output | Raw file is set.

Please read the VueScan help information. It has a lot of information
provided by the maker himself.
