question on AES-256

I have several remote sites that have a pix 506e that connect to the headquarters office to a vpn 3030 concentrator. Currently we are using 3des encryption. I'd like to use AES 256. Do you have any sample configs using aes 256 from the pix point of view. I figure is has to be like the following:

sysopt connection permit-ipsec

crypto ipsec transform-set myset esp-aes-256 esp-md5-hmac

crypto map newmap 10 ipsec-isakmp

crypto map newmap 10 match address 100

crypto map newmap 10 set peer 20.20.20.20

crypto map newmap 10 set transform-set myset

crypto map newmap interface outside

isakmp enable outside

isakmp key ******** address 20.20.20.20 netmask 255.255.255.255

isakmp policy 10 authentication pre-share

isakmp policy 10 encryption aes-256

isakmp policy 10 hash md5

isakmp policy 10 group 5

isakmp policy 10 lifetime 28800

I was also reading where I shouldn't use diffi-helman group 1 or 2 and should use group 5. Is this true? Why? Are there any other recommendations you can make to the config as far security and effiency?

Thanks in advance

AES does not support DH1 only DH 2 and 5 and as I understand it DH5 is the preferred.
