Jim,

PNG is a lossles format.
So if you have a black/white logo, a screenshot, etc. this is the 
format to use.

JPG is a lossy format, means it saves diskspace by not reproducing 
the EXACT original image.
Use it when you have photos and other full color graphics.


Hope this short comparison was understandable.
