If (as per comments) you are asking about which extension to prefer for each format, there is very little difference:

.jpeg is (very slightly) more correct-nice-modern

.jpg is (very slightly) more compatible-safe

The compatibility/safety issue refers mainly to old DOS-based filesystems that used the 8.3 filename structure. But that is rarely a issue in 2012.

Both are ok - but, please, dont' use uppercase.

The same goes for .tif vs .tiff (as, BTW, .html vs .htm)

JPEG is far more common than TIF. PNG is also pretty common now.
