I use Truecrypt, but BitLocker is also popular. Some comparisons:

The main advantage of BitLocker is the ability to use the TPM module on
laptops that have them. This serves as a second factor of authentication
(password + TPM) and prevents someone from making a copy of your encrypted
HD to take elsewhere and pound on in their spare time.
However, if you don't have a TPM then you'll need to use a USB thumbdrive
to store your private key and combine with your password.
