I would put my money on this one because this is a std. does all the
encryption very fast and can be extended as per the security requirments:
you want more security than 128 bit you can have 192, you want more you can
go to virtually any number AES256 is right now the sweet spot and is quite
fast as comapred to Triple DES

> Triple DES

Good algo, but cannot be extended beyond 168 bit and has a lot of subtle
pitfalls which the programmer might fall into like selecting ECB or EBC
mode. Also is very slow - bad for large amount of data
