Gifs are good for images with lots of flat areas of colours (for example the Esato logo in the top-left)

Jpeg is better for when you have a proper photographic image.

It just depends on the compression you use!!!!
A jpg will always be smaller, except when the image is very simple and only contains a few colours.

JPG is lossy
GIF is lossless

Of course you can reduce a gif further by reducing colours, a jpg is always 16 million.
A jpg will auto dither on a 256 screen and look better then a non-dithered gif.
