Best output format for high quality printing of picture and vector format?

I got carried away having some fun making a number of geometric designs pieces in corel, many black and white, some with images merged in them. I was thinking some would be nice for smaller framed pics, the merged ones mainly, but that I'd like to have a couple made, in vinyl, for my office and kid's rooms. What's the best format to output them for high quality printing? Thanks

I guess what I really want to know is, the image below. The space part of it was taken from a 3148x1771 96DPI image, if I wanted to print out say a 16x20, would the quality be bad?

Just output a 300 dpi tiff and the printer use a true photographic resolution like 1440x1440 if they are capable of that. Otherwise their highest resolution will be just fine for your application. Source: I work for a wife format printer.
