You should use PNG or (better still) TIFF...while GIF no longer has patent
issues to deal with (the LZW patent expired last month), you'll get better
compression with the other formats.  TIFF also provides for marking the scan
resolution within the file, so you can more easily get a 1:1 printout if you
need it.
