Question pretty much in the Title. What is the best way to go about Encrypting my drive?

Is the FileVault which is in the System Prefs do this job? Any other alternatives?
 
FileVault will do the job, but it will only encrypt your home directory.

Encrypting the whole drive isn't easily possible, and I'm not certain of that possibility with the Mac, but I cannot see why you'd need to encrypt anything other than your home dir?
 
Third party products are available. We used Checkpoint FDE on the MBPs at work. No problems with it so far.

As mentioned above Full Disk Encryption is coming with Lion.
