I have never seen an option from the finder to encrpt a physical disk. I have seen it for disk images.
There are two versions of File Vault full disk encryption and user level encryption. Every discussion I have seen recommends using the full disk encryption of file vault. One truly amazing part of File Vault full disk encryption is that it creates a secondary partition for the encrypted data and encrypts in the background providing the user with a merged view of both the encrypted and unencrypted partitions. I haven't verified this behavior recently but I remember it being discussed after Lion was released.
