you just plan to store your subkeys on your computer, then pick ED25519 (the
GnuPG default).

(Note: If using NIST or Brainpool curves for `sign` or `auth` subkeys, you must
specify the algorithm explicitly, e.g.: `nistp256/ecdsa` instead of `nistp256`
due to a long-standing bug [https://dev.gnupg.org/T4052].)

Since you can revoke subkeys and create new ones at any time, this is not a
life or death kind of decision. If in doubt, pick ed25519.
