Linux Mint seems to be a nice distribution, but I just don't see any benefits of using it compared to Debian Testing. When I tried installing it, the installer didn't even have an option to do full disk encryption, and I did not have time to try doing it myself (à la gentoo).

My needs aren't really high, all I need is a great packet manager and a simple window manager such as dwm.

Sounds like you're a good candidate for Arch.
I can't take this distribution seriously until they support encrypted root in the installer.
