SVG works fine as well if you define a SVG -> EPS (or SVG -> PDF) converter. (I have set up inkscape for this task.) JPG is intended for photografies (good compression rate) while bitmaps with a lot of sharp edges and "flat" colours (like line-drawings or icons) are better saved in PNG as JPEG's compression algorithm might give you artefacts.
