So, I'm going to do a bunch of reformatting etc on my laptop over the next 2 or 3 days to get it wiped and fde'd before I go to defcon, and getting it provisioned with all the ctf tooling I need. Any recs beyond just LUKS on the root partition? Should I do LUKS over swap too?

If you have enough RAM not to need swap then just skip it. If you use swap at all then you need to encrypt it, otherwise it's a huge leak (stuff can and does stick around there).
Personally I haven't been using swap on most of my recent systems for some time now. Just dump more RAM in them.

Anyway this is how you do ephemeral encrypted swap on Arch if you choose to go that route: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dm-crypt/Swap_encryption#Without_suspend-to-disk_support …
