A recommendation is needed for software that implements a one way hashing
algorithm on certain data set elements.

SHA and MD5 should serve. Both are one-way (irreversible) and will produce a reproducable, fixed length digest. Implementations of SHA (SHA-1, SHA-2) produce larger digests, and tend to be somewhat slower.
