And make it fixed length? For example, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-2 shows that SHA224 results in 224 bits (which gives a hex string of 56 characters), SHA512 results in 512 bits (128 characters) and so on. Oh, but you made the number of bits an operand to the function and that could be an expression. In that case a VarChar is warranted.
