Given the release of v1.4.10, the SHA256 hashing algorithm is preferred

Is there something else I need to do to ensure that I'm using SHA256 by
default for the hash?
You're using a 1024 bit DSA key, which won't allow for 256 bit hashes.
RIPEMD-160 is the largest you can use, and works well for that kind of key.
