Well, for one thing, I don't believe the internal implementation allows
for use of anything other than RSA Keys. The question then remains: Which
algorithms are stronger... RSA or DH/DSS? In practise, RSA Keys seem to be
more vulnerable, and the reasons can be found here:

The latest freeware version of PGP is 6.5.3, and PGP Desktop Security 7.0
has already been released, although the freeware version has not. There is
no reason to be using anything other than the latest and greatest, when it
comes to security.
