Current state of the art is probably XTS which is supported by recent linux kernles (sind 2.6.24 IIRC) and dmcrypt.
gpg can create keys with a key size greater than 4096 but you have to patch it manually. I think it would be nice if the expert mode allows to create keys of any length (at least for RSA).
