If the stuff is ever going to print, I stick with TIFF for originals. If they don't need quit that high of quality, I use JPEG. I only use PNG for web stuff, and even then usually just if alpha transparency is needed.
Yeah, running some tests I see no real difference between a PNG and a TIFF. I think PNG with interlacing is better for GIF replacement and if I save a RAW image as a PNG with interlacing it takes a lot longer to save than as a TIFF with LZW compression. So I'm going to recommend we replace GIFs with PNG's but not TIFFs.
I saw tables showing the compression, while lossless, saves a smaller file in PNG but it isn't that much smaller than a TIFF saved with LZW.
My client requires I convert the images to TIFF's, JPEG's, and GIF's for their different uses.
