Maybe if you're using an Exact palette, but for graphics with few colours
where I use an Adaptive palette for smaller file sizes, I don't find any
difference between GIF and 8-bit PNG (at least using Fireworks anyway).

I wouldn't use a PNG for your header graphic either. It looks like a GIF

No. Use a PNG with indexed colours ALWAYS in preference to a GIF.

"PNG also compresses better than GIF in almost every case (5% to 25%
in typical cases)."
(I've never seen a case in which an indexed PNG was larger than its
GIF counterpart.)
