x e.g.\ y

this is the correct one, because the dot is not the end of a sentence.

See https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/2229/is-a-period-after-an-abbreviation-the-same-as-an-end-of-sentence-period

sometimes also written with a space between: x e.\ g.\ y

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Latin_phrases_(E)#exempli_gratia

I use:
\def\eg{e.g.\ }

would this be in the preamble?

x \eg y

and this in the text?

yes
