We handle a lot of /very/ sensitive data in my company and we use  
FileVault. Users have to be disciplined not to keep data outside of  
their homedir (but note that random bits of the FS are mapped there  
anyway), but the UI encourages that anyway.

It works very well, and works securely with TimeMachine, which is  
critical.
