例如 and 比如 are almost the same. 例如 sounds more formal and it is often used in formal occasion. When chatting with others, we prefer to say 比如 and it is more natural than 例如. Hope I can help you.
In spoken Chinese, we hardly ever say "例如". However, "比如" is used in both spoken and written Chinese.
"如" and "譬如" are their synonyms and usually used in written Chinese. "譬如" is not used very often, though. That could be because the pronunciation of "譬" is exactly the same as that of '屁'. : )
