Serpent is the cipher with the score over 3.0 not Blowfish my mistake. But seriously I would read up instead of trusting the conventional wisdom when it comes to the strongest cipher. http://qr.ae/6wveK

The problem with serpent is that it seems to be hard to find a simple to use implementation for a non specialist, and god knows how much review the few implementations around benefited from.

So Serpent appears to be strongest, just slow? Is time really that big of an issue? I mean, why not spend a few extra seconds encrypting something if it is that much more secure?

If by seconds you mean milliseconds ;)

Oh, you're talking about safety factors? Reducing that to a "score" loses a lost of context.
