We have a requirement to encrypt the entire database.

Personally, what I'd do (and actually do at work) is to us LUKS.

I second that, although I'll add that if you're on AWS you can also use encrypted EBS volumes. You get a very similar effect, except all you need to do is tick a checkbox (or set a CloudFormation attribute, etc.). Also you can get unattended reboots without storing the key somewhere vulnerable. There may be perf advantages too; I'm not sure.

Good luck!
