I would just place the Illustrator files in InDesign and let InDesign handle the conversion.

See conversion settings here:

Good to hear that worked.

ePUB supports PNG, JPEG, GIF and SVG but it might depend on the platform whether some are accepted. I would first check the specifications of the platform you are uploading this to.

JPEG might look terrible with typical vetor artwork. PNG might be better in that regard.

I would check here: https://support.google.com/books/partner/answer/3316879?hl=en

PNG and JPEG are raster-based, in a PDF there can be vector artwork. So naturally it will be sharper. You could check whether SVG is allowed. And then also you need to figure out if your artwork is suited for it or if it contains a lot of effects that might be converted to pixels anyway.
