Eh, I don't really think dban is necessary. Probably more than an fdisk and creating a file system is overkill.
My policies are work are simple: 1. Re-use by same employee: stick with filesystem tools. 2. Re-use within company: single-pass zeroing of disk. 3. Retirement of asset: three-pass of random bits.I've never seen the need for a seven-pass randomization. If pressed, I'd probably agree that a one-pass zeroing is good enough for just about any situation. Asset retirement isn't a time-sensitive task, however, so I always use a three-pass randomization before it heads out the door.
