MD5 should be considered weak on today's internet. There have been many rainbow tables built against it and billions of passwords have been compromised. It would be better to use hash systems that are more cryptographically secure and help protect your password against rainbow table or bruteforce attacks. Blowfish/bcrypt and Argon hashing are stronger and can be passed parameters to blunt the advantage of newer hardware in the process in creating the hash.
