ripemd and ripemd-128 are considered broken. I don't know if ripemd-x, x>=256 have been used anywhere. Having the SHA-3 winner instead would be a much better choice.

Thanks. The related naming question is: Should the header file be nettle/ripend160.h (declaring the single algorithm ripemd160) or nettle/ripemd.h (declaring all supported hash functions in the family)?

Current include file naming is not 100% consistent, with sha.h, md4.h and md5.h, and luckily it doesn't have to. Question is, what makes the most sense for ripemd?
