The best quality will come from TIFF once edited, but must places will take JPEG and give fantastic results :)
 
You could go to A3 or even A2 or larger and still have a decent looking print.
Bear in mind that you're usually looking at a print on the wall quite a lot further away than one that you'd hold in your hand, so you can get away with a lot less than 300 dpi and still have a fantastic looking picture. There's nothing magic about 300 dpi !

cheers
