You (read: everyone) should be using FDE. Every OS worth running supports it, and it provides a real layer of protection in the event of any device failure.

Broken or failed screen, input device, storage controller, yada, -- doesn't matter. FDE means your data is that much more safer than without (and makes it safer provided you use a strong key).
