What do you think of P2WKH (160bit hash of pubkey) vs P2WSH (256bit hash of pubkey) security?

In P2WKH you have to re-built an unknow script, and if you want to unlock a P2WKH Tx, you have to found a sha256 collision with the lock script of this transaction.
To me, it is still very secure unless you break sha256 and then, find a way to create a new valid script corresponding to the precedent hash.
