I vote for RSA because I'm getting pretty tired of the fixed-size hashes
associated with the various DSAs.  This seems to be the cause of a
remarkable number of requests for help on various mailing lists.

RSA makes it easier for end users to switch their hash algorithms, and
that's plenty good enough reason for me.
