My laptop (+ docking station) is going to be my daily main machine...

BTRFS cannot handle swap. A full disk encryption needs the swap to be 
encrypted as well. The only solution for getting both the swap and filesystems 
encrypted using the same key is to put both of them on an LVM itself luks-
encrypted using dm-crypt.

All my machines have been made this way for *years*, so I know it works damn 
well ;-)

...And it also allows for hibernateing the system to (encrypted) swap space...

That's a pretty fine setup :-)
