there is no "safe" and "unsafe". 256bit AES is "safer than" 128bit AES and
ROT-13 is probably "safer than" plaintext-hidden-under-your-chair.
consider the importance of your data, the amount of cpu-power (aka
"money") of the people trying to get your plaintext and your willingnes to
exchange cipher-bits for speed..then you'll get a figure of what you can
consider "safe" for your system. i'm using AES128bit too, and Jari "Mr.
loop-aes" Ruusu also uses 128bit AES too...it can't be that unsafe, can it?
