Yeah, I'd say in general, PNG is the way to go for 2D games (unless you're using a photo, then JPG perhaps).
UPX is an executable file cruncher. It packs your executables to about half their original size, adds its own header on there that executes, unpacks & runs the program when you run the compressed version. It's very fast too. In short, use it to half your final EXE size, almost for free! The OS doesn't even know the difference.
upx.sourceforge.com, I think.
