Cryptsetup-luks is easier to implement and maintain, but it does reveal the algorithm to the adversary at the outset to anyone who examines the disk with a luks dump command.
With dm-crypt properly set up, that should NOT be a problem, remember:
"[...] if I take a letter and lock it in a safe, and then
give you the safe along with the design specifications of the safe and
a hundred identical safes with their combinations so that you and the
world's best safecrackers can study the locking mechanism--and you
still can't open the safe and read the letter, that's security."
