RSA vs DSA/ElGamal

My private key was recently compromised (Which sucks, I know). I was in
the process of generating a new keypair when I realized "Why do I use
RSA? What's the difference". Hence my question :)

If I *do* use DSA/ElGamal, what bitrate should I use? I know there are
FAQs and documentations that say to use a certain bitrate, but I would
like to know the reason behind that...


Thanks.
