GPG is a program. It isn't an algorithm. Consider reading it before you propose alternatives, which are likely to be broken.

Like I posted upthread, there's a laundry list of things that program is going to give you besides picking a better algorithm than "Triple DES" and a better block cipher mode. But listing them is just begging for a bunch of people to propose wack-ass alternative solutions that other people will feel obliged to waste time knocking down.
