> There are still some differences. NIST provides some curves and doesn't explain much about them. You can read up how DJB choose the curves. It's a very neat and tidy process that is easy to follow and very reasonable.
You're not wrong, but to paraphrase a famous quotation: No body every got fired for following Suite B.
AES, SHA-2, and the NIST curves are approved for government crypto, and are also probably in many industry regulations. If there's ever an incident and a post-mortem audit, then it's a lot easier to explain the choice of Suite B algorithms.
