To add to Steve Kinney's excellent summaries, note also that PNGs will export (i.e. maintain) transparency while JPGs will not.

clip...

Where higher quality matters more than lower file size, for instance
images intended for color printing on glossy stock, the lossless PNG
format will usually be more appropriate than JPG.  The output files are
substantially larger, but with PNG what you save is what you get, with
no loss of detail except due to scaling the image up or down in size
while editing.
