we're talking about strongest for password hashing here. A good general purpose hash doesn't need to be a good password hash, and vice versa. Length of the hash is irrelevant once it exceeds a certain threshold. A pre-image attack on an n bit hash costs 2n. For a 128 bit hash this is completely infeasible. bcrypt using an exponential notation for cost and ...
