Good question ...

I checked, they're still pretty lame with the default RSA key type:

     Cipher: AES256, AES192, AES, 3DES
     Digest: SHA256, SHA384, SHA512, SHA224, SHA1
     Compression: ZLIB, BZIP2, ZIP, Uncompressed
     Features: MDC, Keyserver no-modify

And the same is true of ECC:

pub  brainpoolP512r1/A675A51E
     created: 2015-07-14  expires: never       usage: SC
     trust: ultimate      validity: ultimate
sub  brainpoolP512r1/4CB4C289
     created: 2015-07-14  expires: never       usage: E
[ultimate] (1). Benny (have you seen my jets?) <ben at example.net>

gpg> showpref
[ultimate] (1). Benny (have you seen my jets?) <ben at example.net>
     Cipher: AES256, AES192, AES, 3DES
     Digest: SHA256, SHA384, SHA512, SHA224, SHA1
     Compression: ZLIB, BZIP2, ZIP, Uncompressed
     Features: MDC, Keyserver no-modify
