I'm about to encrypt two of my hard drives using LUKS, since I can't really do it myself I use the guide on the Arch Linux wiki (which can be found here). In an example in the guide the cipher specified is aes-xts-plainaes-xts-plain with a 512 bit-bit key size. Is aes-xts-plainaes-xts-plain the best choice or is there a better cipher to use? I'd prefer security over speed.

Thanks in advance.
