The Blake family of hash algorithms has a number of advantages for random access because data is ingested in a tree rather than linear stream. Tvix is using it for this purpose.

In order to support such experiments and potential compatibility with Tvix's experiments in the future, I think we should the same Blake hashing algorithm that they do.
