Yeah, I literally wrote that part of the guide several times over, and I'm still only about 51% convinced that leaving it as "all RSA" for now makes sense. There are two reasons:
- People who are most likely to read this guide may get confused when you give them too many choices -- especially if some of these choices don't work with specific hardware. So I'm trying to give a solution that is likely to work in the majority of cases.
- I recommend Yubikey-4 devices in the guide because they implement both smartcard and u2f features. Annoyingly, Nitrokey Pro doesn't do u2f, and the only common device that does ed25519 keys is the Nitrokey Start (because it's basically Gnuk).
So, just for these two reasons I'm sticking with "RSA only for now" for this iteration of the guide. If the next edition of Nitrokey Pro supports both u2f and ECC keys, then I will happily redact that part to what you suggest.

Last July, I created an ed25519 PGP pubkey, thinking it should be widely adopted as future-default.
Sadly, since Android-Password-Store (https://github.com/zeapo/Android-Password-Store) does not support ed25519 yet, I am now considering moving back from ed25519 to RSA :/
So, as far as I'm concerned, I would still recommend RSA despite its drawbacks!
Thanks for this very useful guide

I think this can be closed now? In bc0503d (Update the code integrity guide for 2021, 2021-05-13), the recommendation for subkeys was changed to an ECC algorithm. The certification key is still RSA,
