It's impressive work but there's no better cipher to use than AES for now.

If you use proper password (different characers, +10), it is impossible to break AES.
Encryption is always an wrapper, so in that sense, it is the same... for PAE there is no tools that brute force it, and we have made it on purpose very slow to check the password.
For AES encryption, only possible way to crack it is to brute force the password - which means trying every possible combination. So making it slower to check if password is correct, means less combinations can be tried at the same time.
Most important part is the password, something like greece3 is bad, while 9E:,a?_ is much better.
It does depend on what are you trying to encrypt... if it is nothing that some spy agency will want, then it might be better to use some "normal" password or else you might forget it and then damage is ever bigger.
For instance, we have received countless emails from students that encrypted their papers and forgot the password.... sorry guys!
