I use LUKS / dm-crypt on entire drive partitions. Did that with ZFS too, and by the time ZFS got this feature I was already planning my migration to btrfs.
I like encrypting with LUKS, because I can have a drive configured with mine and my wife's password. Either one of us can take that drive, plug it in, and Gnome will put a nice graphical prompt asking for a password, then decrypt the drive and mount the filesystem.
If I get hit by a bus, LUKS makes it much easier for my family to get access to important data without having to have that data sit around somewhere in plaintext.
