The design and implementation of dm-crypt + LUKS appears to be solid. The code is well maintained and your use case is well supported by distributions and other software. I haven't given it a thorough audit but at least dm-crypt has avoided many of the OMG WTF bugs and design flaws that have plagued other disk encryption systems (looking at you, ecryptfs). -andy
