If it's not highly sensitive information and more along the lines of something personal like a blog, forum, or even just a special little area, md5 (or alternatively sha1) are fine to use. Most forums for example still use md5.

But if you are protecting sensitive data, then not only would you want to use a good hash function, but you would also use SSL to protect your site from packet sniffing.
