I'm considering making my default hash RIPEMD160: does anyone have any opinions on how this compares to SHA-2 algorithms in terms of both security and availability? I like the idea that RIPEMD was developed in an academic community instead of the NSA, but if there are genuine benefits to using SHA, I have no problem looking past this bit of romanticism. I'm especially curious if RIPEMD160 is commonly available in popular PGP clients.
