And which is better, Blowfish or AES?
AES.

Source?  Wikipedia just says:

"Blowfish provides a good encryption rate in software and no effective
cryptanalysis of it has been found to date. However, the Advanced
Encryption Standard now receives more attention."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weak_key#List_of_algorithms_with_weak_keys
    Blowfish. Blowfish's weak keys produce bad S-boxes, since
    Blowfish's S-boxes are key-dependent. There is a chosen
    plaintext attack against a reduced-round variant of Blowfish
    that is made easier by the use of weak keys. This is not a
    concern for full 16-round Blowfish.

And what about Twofish?
