I think you're severely underestimating the importance of salting. I agree that choosing the "correct" hashing algorithm is more important than salting, but not by magnitudes. Even if you're using a "hard" hashing algorithm, you're significantly reducing the amount of computations an attacker would have to go through by forgoing salts. Especially considering that salting has very, very little overhead.
