I have a series of graphics that I got produced by a graphic designer for my website and I am wondering what format/settings i should use when converting the .ai files into JPEG, PNG, GIF files.

I have the following types of files


Logos (Requires transparency)
Avatar like images for the brand.
Banners
Background Graphics


Being that it's for a website, I obviously want quality but also small file size to help keep the site fast.



Logos

As the logo requires transparency PNG format is the best choice.

Questions:


What would be better between PNG-8 and PNG-24?
If PNG-8, what would be better between selective, adaptive, perceptual, restrictive?
If PNG-8 or PNG-24, should I apply interlacing to the images?
If PNG-8, what would be better out of diffusion, pattern, noise or no dither?
What type of image optimization should I be using, art optimization, type optimization or no optimization?


Avatar like images, banners, background graphics

This question is broad, since you're looking for a very detailed explanation without relating to a specific problem. What have you tried that didn't work and why? In any case, to point you in the right direction:


The designer should have delivered these for you if he got paid for the service. It's not the client's job to understand these things.
You're overthinking it. The PNG-24 preset should work for all your items with default settings. For larger banners the JPG High preset could be better if you need to keep the file size down. GIF is not so popular anymore, ignore it.
Everything else is not so relevant unless there's a problem with the above, in which case show us what you have and what the actual problem is.
