To achive best security and performance, ED25519 is preferred over ECDSA (also secure, but a bit bigger and some of them use ECC curves from non-trustworthy sources) which is preferred over RSA. Since ED25519 keys are smaller and need less CPU time on both client and server, this also achives a better performance.
