That choice is not even hard. Nobody should use ECB unless as a
primitive for building the actual cipher mode used by the application.

And of course, what one should use are AE-modes. OCB. CCM or CTR+CMAC,
which is much cleaner.

OCB is fun. Too bad the license does not allow for open source HW
implementation, just SW implementations.
