Implementation choices in light of recent attacks?

[Jim McCoy]

After digesting the various bits of information and speculation on the 
recent breaks and partial attacks on various popular hash functions I 
am wondering if anyone has suggestions for implementation choices for 
someone needing a (hopefully) strong hash today, but who needs to keep 
the hash output size in the 128-192 bit range.  A cursory examination 
of Tiger seems to indicate that it uses a different methodology than 
the MDx & SHAx lines, does this mean that it does not suffer from the 
recent hash attacks?  Would a SHA256 that has its output chopped be 
sufficient?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Jim
