GPG key methods and sizes



 I was about to generate a new key for myself using RSA with a 2048 bit 
key, but I noticed that the default for GNUPG is DSA and Elgamal. 
I was wondering since the El Gamal encryption has fairly recently been 
added to GNU PG, would I still be better to use RSA/2048. 

Since my use is mostly digital signatures, and very little to convey 
secure information, I would think that 2048 would be fine.  Just 
looking for some opinions. I will be allowing my old key to expire.
