I suggest Threefish. It is (practically) immune to the risk of collisions

best to use the version of Threefish before they increased the number of
rounds to deal with collisions.
As a Threefish co-author, thank you for your vote of confidence.
We never increased the number of rounds. We tweaked constants, but that's all.
Threefish is a wide-block, tweakable block cipher and would need a small bit of
description of how to use it; it's not a drop-in replacement for something like
AES.
But I'd be happy to do that, myself, and could make suggestions in less than a
paragraph.
