This is long out of date. The simplfied answer is:

1. Old latex only supports EPS images. EPS can only be used with old 
latex. No other image formats work with old latex.

2. pdflatex/xelatex/lualatex only support JPG, PNG, and PDF images. EPS 
will not work with these processors. If you use these processors you 
cannot use EPS images.

See https://latex.silmaril.ie/formattinginformation/images.html#fileformats

(I believe that technically you can fix it so that EPS images in 
pdflatex get converted automatically, but this slows it down a lot 
because they get converted every time.)
