I use md5 still. Reasons being they are all at a level of security. Even if they are "hacked" they still take a lot of computation to do so, and because I use salts I'm not overtly worried that someone will spend hours upon hours trying to "decipher" my salts/md5 just to gain access to someone's blog..

I use MD5 on evilwalrus -- if someone does manage to get into the server, it would take them about 25 seconds to change the authentication logic and gain access to any account. When I'm working databases containing nuclear launch codes or government bank account information, I generally use sha256 or better. Otherwise, I find anything >sha1 kind of arrogant ;)
