For Windows, I use BitLocker because it is available, and very easy to deal with. However, for cross platform compatibility, I may end up moving back to Jetico's BestCrypt (a program I used before TrueCrypt was out for both containers and system encryption.) It isn't open source, but it does have hidden container protection.
Another option I might do is look at Symantec's Encryption Desktop (formerly PGP Desktop.) It works on Mac, Windows, and Linux, and offers the only public key protection on data volumes out there. This is an excellent product, but not cheap, although the source code is downloadable.
Before using either BitLocker or BestCrypt, etc I suggest reading the reader comments on Bruce Schneier's blog -
