Both formats, briefly
JPGIN
JPG is where photographs end up by default. Its compression discards detail the eye is unlikely to notice, so a camera shot fits in a few hundred kilobytes instead of tens of megabytes. That suits scenes built from gradients and texture. It suits screenshots and line art badly, because the discarded detail shows up as smudging around hard edges. Every re-save loses a little more, so keep an original if you plan to edit the file more than once.
DDSOUT
DDS keeps textures in the form a graphics card wants to receive them. Block compressed data such as DXT and BC stays compressed in video memory, and mipmaps, cube maps and volume textures can all sit in the same file, so an engine loads it and draws with it directly. If you are modding a game, preparing assets for DirectX, or looking at art unpacked from a title, DDS is what you are handling.
