Should I be using ECDSA keys instead of RSA for SSH?

I read on ssh.com that there are new ECDSA ssh keys that one should be using to create the public / private key pair; and that's it's a US Government Standard based on elliptical curves (probably something mathy). I also noticed that they use fewer bits, so I'm unsure how it is supposed to be more secure. Have you heard anything about this, and if it uses fewer bits how on earth could it be more secure?
