Parallel MAC vs doubled rounds for SipHash, KMAC and others

SipHash 4-8 is documented by the authors as being about half the speed of SipHash 2-4 and is obviously the more conservative option. I was wondering from a security perspective how this would compare ...

Same 64-bit preimage resistance security for SipHash and SHA-512/64?

If I have to chose a 64 bit preimage resistant hash function; will there be any difference in security between SipHash and SHA-512/64 (SHA-512 truncated to 64 bits)? How long will it take an ...

Does SipHash have 64 bit (second) preimage security?

I was not able to find an explicit statement about the first and second preimage security of SipHash-2-4 or SipHash-4-8 anywhere. I think it should be 64 bits, but I'd feel safer if somebody who has ...
