Nothing beats .gif files.
The reason why png transparency can be dicey is because unless you know for sure if you are making a png8 or png24 file then the transparency can include levels of opacity and will read (in Pixeljoint) at least as NPA. It can also have a higher color count than you think.
...gif or png8 :)

also, in addition to that, transparent PNG images are not displayed transparantly in a lot of (older) browsers!
