gif is still under patent in several countries, most of them are expiring, but there are still restriction.

but beside of that we can do this compare:

Gif
+ old known format
+ Most UA can render it

- Only 256 colors
- Only one bit alpha channel
- Un-free compression (LZH)

Png
+ True color
+ 1 byte alpha channel
+ w3c recommendation
+ a open format

- IE can not render it correctly

Ok, I haven't consider everything, but this is my point of view, I recommend png rather than gif.
