DES  is  obsolete  since  few  years,  (not  only)  since its key length is fixed to 56bit
effective. Even TripleDES has only 112bit effective.

With  GOST, i had not to deal yet, but Blowfish seems to be quite good and fast enough for
almost any use. Be sure to use 128bit keylength upwards.

Best regards,
