LOL - DSA / RSA which ever you want :)
As I understand it they both provide near equivalent security. And
while DSA is a federal standard RSA is evolving more rapidly. If you
really want to increase your security just up the number of bits in
the key. The big issue is implantation of the standard. Improper
padding, etc, can create exploits. To the best of my knowledge there
are no current open ssl exploits for either, but Lisa or some one else
may know better then I in this regard.
