I am hoping someone can give me advice on file encryption.

GPG would probably work well. You can encryt files symmetrically and put a passphrase on the file. Public Key encryption could work also, as long as you have a decent passphrase on your private key. If your private key is passphraseless and someone gets physical access to your machine they'll have not much problem decrypting your file. GPG also had other useful applications, such as signing emails and various files.
