Png for popouts
Gif for websites.

JPG = Medium file sizes, full color, some loss of quality, no transparency, no extra data.
PNG = Large file sizes (usually), full color, alpha transparency
GIF = Small File size, Limited color, transparency, animation
jpg's for photos, gif's for animation and transparency, png... high-quality transparency only, really.
if you're doing printing work it's best to keep the file as a PSD, AI, or whatever program specific file type your software uses.
ahh you forgot to mention that jpg is best for photos, as in not for artwork thats more linear in colours!!!! :P
personaly i use png a lot, you can chose the colour depth and with certain types of images it can be smaller than a jpeg, though tends to be on average a tad bigger.
Png is s'posed to be the new open standard to beat all other standards, well will wait for ie7 to come out so that we have a bit better alpha transparency support :D
i use png for everything it has a higher color quality and range then other types of files... i somtimes use .gif or jpg tho (for some animations and just sigs)
I hate GIF's to death.
I use jpeg and png.... for obvious reasons mentioned.
