A group is a group. Doesn't matter whether you call it additive or multiplicative. So DH doesn't change since either way g^a and a*g are both defined as repeated action of g on g via the group operation.

ECDH has smaller keys because the attacks are (until now) weaker and not because you're using an additive cyclic group.
