My choice would be the recently standardized JPEG XL designed to replace all of: JPEG, JPEG 2000, PNG, GIF. Among other things, it is supposed to be the first choice for long-term storage. I guess mass adoption will begin after including it in the PDF standard. It is already experimentally in Chrome and Firefox.

JPEG is optimized for compressing photos, not text or high contrast images.
This only applies to legacy JPEG (1992), not for JPEG XL (2022).
