Full Disk Encryption vs File Based Encryption

I've been testing full disk encryption and file encryption software to use for about 1000 laptops. The most secure option with fde is to utilize preboot authentication.  Has anyone had any experience using fde with preboot?  There are many challenges using the preboot authentication with multiple users and passwords.  Trying to decide if I should go with the file based encryption.

Thanks for your reply SteveH.  I'm testing "file encryption" software from Credant.  I have to say I'm very impressed at how intuitive and easy to use.  The problem I have with full disk encryption in an enterprise with multiple users accessing the same laptop is the administrative nightmare it will create on the helpdesk side regarding password resets and multiple users trying to use the same laptop.  Thanks for your input.
