When I generate SSH keys then a couple of different types are possible, e.g.

SSH-1-RSA 2048
SSH-2 RSA 2048
SSH-2 DSA 1024

If I have to select (only) one of them: Which is the recommended type?
Which is the most used (for Solaris/Linux target SSH server/computer)?

The default for OpenSSH (and probably the most common by far) is
2048-bit RSA.

DES
