with the present aes256

with the aes256 used currently everywhere, there should be no difference.

When/if one of them

When/if one of them implements an ECC (Elliptic curve cryptography) algorithm, use that one.

EDIT: Check that, it seems ECC will be used for "data in transit", not "data at rest". ECC is supposedly replacing the current RSA and Diffie-Hellman keys infrastructure, not AES. (AES is still sorta 'new' so I thought that was kinda odd.)
