Large PNG photographs are so much bigger it's not worth it (unless your going to be editing and resaving the picture a lot)
A 3648 x 2736 image on my computer is 7 MB as JPEG. The same image is 23 MB as PNG. That's 220% bigger.
Though for Blockland I would recommend using PNG as your screenshot setting. JPEG compression is pretty noticeable with all of Blockland's sharp lines.
Conan:
Or don't do either and use vector graphics and export as needed.

jpg is terrible for red green and blue, that's where you can see the most artifacts.
