Aespipe can encrypt/decrypt a whole filesystem in a single operation, for example for burning an encrypted CD or DVD. Loop-aes on the other hand lets you *mount* an encrypted filesystem and access the files and directories within as normal files and directories. They are both very useful tools. I guess loop-aes could be used in the place of aespipe if needed, but not the other way round.
