Personally, for the two ciphers case, I'd choose Blowfish and AES, ensuring the keys are randomly and seperately generated, because Blowfish is a Feistel cipher and AES isn't (and because both are well-peer-reviewed, and available), but that's just a feeling which I can't really justify mathematically.

Jeezum Peter, if you're going to compose ciphers, how about *not* picking the contender chosen by the NSA? Paranoia is not just for breakfast anymore.
