HEIC for photos taken by my iPhone. Apple stuff seems to do a mostly ok job auto-converting to JPG when needed (I assume, since I haven’t manually converted one in ages).

And JPG for photos taken on a “real” camera (including scanned negatives). Sometimes RAW, but they’re pretty large so not often.

I found that if you plug a iphone into a windows PC and copy the photos off it will convert to jpg. However it makes copying very slow, and the quality is worse, so I'd advise to turn off the setting on the phone (I think its compatibility mode or similar)
