ecryptfs-utils is the userland management of the kernel's ecryptfs.
Ecryptfs uses an overlay filesystem to encrypt files within a directory,
it is what Ubuntu uses for encrypted home directories
cryptmount is for working with LUKS filesystems, which appears to be the
route you are leaning towards. I haven't used it and don't know what
advantages it has over a user script, if you want to manually mount the
filesystem, or /etc/crypttab.
