Use SHA-256 (SHA-1 has had some flaws suggested), and use the CryptoAPI implementation, or System.Security.Cryptography. These implementations have been validated by the US National Institute of Science and Technology. You could also use any other implementation that has been validated[^]. Source code you pick up from the net might well work fine, but I'd be happier using an implementation that has been validated.

Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder

It is very easy to validate the result of a one way hash function. But I'm guessing you mean that the code itself has been deemed robust from a software engineer's point of view.
