For the average use there is not much difference...except for one thing,and it can make a great differnece in the final outcome.
TIFF is a loss-less format...JPG is not. Graphics apps compress a jpg *everytime* it is saved. So if you import from your cam as a jpg and them play around with it and resave it four or five times...well... Many a person has wondered why everything they try to do to fix a graphic fails and in fact looks worse that before. So they go back to the original and start all over again...fix...save...fix...save...shit And some poor suckers dont even know enough to do their work on a copy of the original. TIFF, OTOH, looks the same every time it is saved, no matter how many times. So, if you plan to fudge around to it to a TIFF then do the final save as a jpg.
