Dual boot with full disk encryption

I read these articles (#1 and #2) and they explain how to dual-booting distro linux and Windows 7 with full-disk encryption, using dm-crypt LUKS and truecrypt/veracrypt.
What are the differences between tutorial #1 and #2? What's the best?
I would have only one drive with dual boot (windows 7 + arch linux, both encrypted).

Neither. Random blog posts are unsupported: use the community provided documentation on the wiki.

Re: Dual boot with full disk encryption

I read the wiki but it doesn't explain how to encrypt full disk with dual boot (windows + arch).

Re: Dual boot with full disk encryption

Well since the guides (sanely!) refer back to the wiki for the Arch part, what remains is the Windows part, which doesn't have much to do with Arch and hence we aren't really equipped to comment on. From a quick glance they both end up doing the same thing, but this is really something you simply will have to try yourself.
