I tend to use sha256sum to check file integrity and then as far into gpg (see: https://www.gnupg.org/ ) as is practical in the situation.

Today you might STILL use sha1; it has had tremendous resiliency. NIST was expecting it to fall as badly as md5 by this point.   Most use at least sha256, and sha3 is now out there.  Choose your poison.

sha3 isn't really ready yet (unless something changed within the last couple of months). The algorithm was chosen a while ago, but there are parameters that need to be chosen and as yet there isn't a standard sha3.

yeah.   It is out there.  Somewhere.
