Erm, PGP uses IDEA. Blowfish is partially susceptable to differential
cryptanalysis (at reduced rounds). IDEA is probably the best bet, though

TEA (tiny encryption algorithm) has been shown to resist differntial
cryptanalysis
quite well.

The key is always the weakest link, why spend years brute forcing
the answer on computers, when you can threaten the rabbits of the
key owner and get it in 5 minutes :)
