I have been using loop-aes for 3 years now. I am very happy with it. I keep system files (/etc, /usr, /lib, stuff like that) unencrypted, and keep sensitive information (/home, /var, /tmp, swap) in a loop-aes partition. My computer is nice and fast still

Well supported and testet. I am using it since 2003 and it works perfectly even with (software) RAID, LVM and full system encryption.
