we use WinMagic. PGP doesn't support self encrypting drives, which is much faster then SW based encryption. Also, PGP uses a reusable recovery password whcih we found unacceptable.
Filevault is free, but it's the slowest one out there.Also, FV only encrypts the home directory, not shared, not /tmp, and not /var. it's a good solution for a hobbyist, but there's no enterprise management of keys.
The only two enterprise solutions I'm aware of are PGP and WinMagic.

This laptop did not have any PHI data on it or classified information so I managed to get an exemption back then, but they are attempting to force everyone to use encryption now. Is anyone using PGP? How does it perform?
