Images with Lots of Color – JPG is the answer
Images with few colors – GIF is the answer
GIFs are also the only image format that supports animation (although it tends to get really large in file size really quickly.
If you need an image to be partially transparent then the answer is never going to be a JPG, because there’s no transparencies with JPG. GIFs are currently the only form of transparent image that are supported by the major web browsers
The basic rule that I find is that the large images with lots of color will always be JPG, but sometimes when images are small, around thumbnail size, gifs will work better then as well because you can only see around a hundred colors anyways. (For images under say 100px by 100px)
An excellent article about gif Vs jpg
