My thing is that I'm not smart enough to /really/ understand crypto.
I mean, I've got a pretty good handle on the basics, but my general 
rule is to use the stuff that is known safe.   my ssh2 keys are
generated with  -trsa   In short, I'll start using Elliptical Curve
Cryptography when Mr. Schneier tells me to do so, and as of yet,
he seems to think RSA is still the way to go.[1]
