Which of the following algorithms is BEST suited for this purpose?

In an effort to reduce data storage requirements, a company devices to hash every file and eliminate
duplicates. The data processing routines are time sensitive so the hashing algorithm is fast and supported
on a wide range of systems. Which of the following algorithms is BEST suited for this purpose?

MD5 produces a 128-bit hash.
SHA is one-way hash value produces a 160-bit hash value.
SHA-2 has several sizes: 224,256,334 and 512 bit.
