I need recommendations: - Which version of software shall I install?
The latest version available for your system, which should in any case be a version from the 2.2 branch. (If your system is Windows, that would be Gpg4Win 3.1.10, which provides GnuPG 2.2.17.)
You should *not* use GnuPG 1.4.x unless you have some very specific needs (such as working on a "exotic" system or having to interoperate with PGP versions from the mid-1990s), and you should *not* use any version from the 2.0 or 2.1 branch which are not supported anymore.
- Create key via cli-commands or is Windows-Version ok?
This doesn't matter, really. You may use gnupg directly on the command line if you're familiar with it, but you don't have to.
- Which keys shall I take (there was an article not to encrypt/sign with El-Gamal)?
The usual recommandation is to stick to the default setting proposed by GnuPG (which currently and if I remember correctly is to generate a RSA-3072 master key for certifying and signing and a RSA-3072 encryption subkey).
Note that modern versions of GnuPG do not ask you anymore to specify the type and/or size of key you want unless you explicitly request it.
