.png is probably the best for banners. Its good compression, and I use it whenever I make a banner or an avatar.
.jpg isn't a good compression for "art." It's good for photos etc. and it doesn't support transparency.
.gif is for animations and it's usually a low file size. However, the quality goes down a lot if you save it as .gif.
.bmp is not a good file type at all.

Agreed. If you post .bmps on the internet, you need to be shot.

.png is actually made for the internet. :)
.jpg will crapify the banner/image you worked forever on.
.gif should only be for animation
.bmp :twisted:
