Which hash should I use?

SHA-256 is the safe default for integrity checks and fingerprints. SHA-512 is faster on 64-bit CPUs and produces a longer digest. SHA-1 and MD5 are broken for security purposes (collisions are practical) but still appear in checksums, Git and legacy systems, so they are included for compatibility.

None of these are suitable for storing passwords — use bcrypt, scrypt or Argon2 for that.
