There is currently a Beta of PGP for Mac for FDE, but again currently it's
in beta.

I don't believe that are any FDE products for Mac.  Filevault is really the
only option.  I think a major stumbling block to Mac FDE is pre-boot
authentication.

So, what product(s) is everyone using for full-disk on Macs?

I agree with teh previous comment on Filevault - it encrypts teh parts of
the disk where a user will be putting things - yes a user can get around
that if they want to enough but ...
