Added some tags, this is not really a Java Question.

There is no "Best", it is down to how you want to apply the crypto hash, data criticality, data range, computational cost etc. etc.

Have a read of the various hash comparisons here; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_cryptographic_hash_functions[^]

Maybe edit your question with what exactly you are trying to do, and maybe someone will recommend what they would use.
