Best encryption software

I want to know which encryption software is best and most trustable.

I am interested in whole disk encryption, plausible deniability  preferred.

Also, if its not open source, how bad is this?

Looking for a good answer from an encryption expert.

Whole disk encryption + plausible deniability + open source = truecrypt

Tolomir is right, I have to nuance my answer a bit: full drive encryption in truecrypt does not inclode the system drive. You have to seperate the operating system and data in different partitions. The system drive can not be encrypted.
A data disk or partition can.
