Loop-AES and Arch

Hi,

I was thinking on making a distro hop again, this time to Arch. I have used Arch once before but that didn't impress me as I din't even get my nVidia drivers installed

Im currently running Debian Sid with encrypted LVM partitions using the dm-crypt.
After browsing net a bit and making myself more familiar to encryption options I though to try the loop-AES as it seems to be more secure and faster option than the dm-crypt.

Does loop-AES work with LVM or how?

After I have sufficient info I think I try to install it on my laptop.

Correct me if I'm wrong, you can install a Arch and then encrypt the existing installation without erasing the data on partition with loop-aes?

I'm planning on using the Suspend2 also with the loop-aes. I'll follow this http://wiki.suspend2.net/EncryptedSwapAndRoot.
