gif vs. jpeg vs. png => what image format should (I) you use?

normally when i'm working with images i use this guideline for picking my image format:

few colors/animation/transparency => gif
lots of colors/no animation/no transparency => jpeg
lots of colors/complex vectors/quality transparency => png

but you say, why not just use png all the time? it's all about file size, which goes from lowest to highest from gif -> png. for a better explanation check this out:
