Blowfish uses more complicated algorithm, thus it is more secure. It runs a longer than other ciphers but we should proiritize data security. Also a Wiki Article stated that:
Blowfish's slow key changing is actually a benefit: the password-hashing method used in OpenBSD uses an algorithm derived from Blowfish that makes use of the slow key schedule; the idea is that the extra computational effort required gives protection against dictionary attacks.
As prescribed by this formal paper, Blowfish is the best choice.
