JPEG. High compression (low file size) and for most images you can get
decent quality if you need it. Of course, the better the quality, the higher
the file size, but usually you can find an acceptable balance.

PNG uses lossless compression, the file sizes are fairly large but much 
smaller than uncompressed images. JPEG uses lossy compression, the file 
sizes depend on the quality settings you use. You can get large files 
with no visible compression artifacts, or you can get very tiny files 
with visible artifacts. Both are quite standard, any image editor or web 
browser should handle them. To archive images for later viewing or 
editing, I like PNG for its lossless compression. If you are going to be 
editing a file, save JPEG compression for the last step.
