Can we please have AES as a MUST?
It has survived really intensive analysis. The teams for other AES candidates
had several of the world's top people on them -- Biham, Coppersmith, ... None
of them found flaws in Rijndael.
It is roughly 10 times 3DES speed in software. Schneier gives figures in AC2
that have Blowfish more than 3 times single DES speed. He says elsewhere Twofish
is faster than Blowfish, and AES tests showed Twofish and Rijndael roughly
comparable.
Finally, there are several readily available implementations with open licenses.
At least the reference implementation on the authors' site and Brian Gladman's
version.
