comment Would a “Triple AES” (in the sense of how Triple Des works) serve for a dramatic increase in safety?
What poncho indicated is pretty much the argument in favor of using the first option (still upvoted both, your answer and his comment). 256 bits should be enough until we have some powerful quantum computing. The idea is that if either algorithm is ever broken (as poncho described "a cryptographical breakthrough"), the other still provides the protection. So "the level of security is at least as good as one of the two ciphers used". Protecting the keys is usually more important. Keys are (pseudo)randomly generated and are independent, so I trust them as much as I can.
