IMO there's a clear answer to this: "It depends ..."
RSA authentication is only as secure as your machine (fs) with
the key is. That's when a manually typed in password might be
more secure than a private key lingering in an open filesystem.
BTW that's exactly the reasoning for PuTTY to *not* support RSA
auth but passwords _only._
But that's completely OT here ...
