Dear , PDF format has the advantage that it is resolution independent (unless it contains an embedded bitmap, but I guess for a graph from R it won't), so that's one great advantage of pdf.
However, as far as I know, MS product are a little ignorant of PostScript and PDF, and if that's the case for your system, jpeg is probably better. tiff is not really an image format, it's a container (like avi for videos), so it's up to the program to put inside whatever it wants. There used to be a patent problem with lzw compression often used in tiff-files so that they were unnecessarily large.
