Unless you have an interoperability requirement or some other specific
issue, you should stick with AES and the SHA2 family.  Don't make your
own cipher selections unless you know completely what you're doing.
This is especially the case for business applications in the US, since
AES and SHA are US federal standards and if you use them and something
goes wrong with them, you can at least say you followed the standard.
If you use anything else, you will have more to answer for.
