David,

Do I have to use StringShape for all the formats below?

as Joe mentioned

Nope. TIFF is pure bitmap.

Common vector formats include:
Postscript, EPSF, PDF, PICT (there is a vector and bitmap version).

All these formats can also include bitmap data as well as vector.
For PDF I highly recommend the Monkeybread plugin.
