Do memesters prefer PNGs (transparent backgrounds), JPGs, SVGs, or something else? Maybe a mix?
PNG and JPG/JPEG is typical format as they can be opened on all devices.
SVG stands for Scalable Vector Graphic and is what Adobe Illustrator and similar programs output. This is mostly used for commercial related things such as logos, signs, billboards, T-shirt designs, etc. The benefit here is the image will not lose any resolution or details regardless of how big or small you make it AKA no pixelation.
I tend to create memes that are as photorealistic as possible and I usually use professional fonts such as Helvetica, Gotham, etc.
Lately though, I've been using a Comic Book font I really like for some of my memes, which can be downloaded here-

As far as workflow, I've created a Virtual Machine which has no Internet access. I drag in photos I download on my main PC and do all the work inside there. Tools I use are Adobe Photoshop for the most part, but lately I've started using Snagit as well, which is very nice for creating infographs and such.
