PNG only produces reasonable image sizes for a very restricted category of image. And while JPEG is decent for photos, it does a pretty bad job compressing images which contain sharp edges or text.

So neither is a good choice, unless you know a priori that all your images will fall into one of the categories where these formats do a decent job.
