You can choose the native Illustrator format (.AI), or .EPS, which is a generic, software independent format.
Other formats you might look into are SVG. which is an open source vector format that web browsers can display (all newer ones anyways).
Also .PDF files retain vectors in their editable state, and this is a preferred format when sending vectors to a printer.
Keep in mind that when saving vector files, if they contain text, it ought to be converted to paths before saving, so that others who don't have the same fonts installed on their system can see the art as intended.
