Encfs is a 3rd option for encrypting files on the harddisk. This can be supplemented with libpam-encfs to automatically mount the encrypted home directory when a user logs in. I have been using this system for approximately 18months and am happy with it. It is also important to encrypt your frequent backups and distroy the out of data ones
Ultimately you have to accept that most stolen laptops end up on Ebay as 'spares', you actually get more cash by splitting the machine up. You just have to ensure that the data is as hard to access as possible. So set BIOS boot password, drive boot password and encrypt what you can.
