The catch? No one else I know has GPG. So I'm currently not using it, but I have it if I ever need it.

Personally I think GPG is one of the best (if not the best) option, considering the price.

MacGPG is something for OSX users to look at. Some nice plugins linked to as well, like one for Apple's Mail.app.
One way to get people you know using GPG is to start signing all your emails (not encrypting them, just sign them) that gets people interested in "what that stuff" is on the end of your email, and after you explain some of the more tech savvy people may start to use it too.

I sign all outgoing email, but rarely encrypt emails - only when transmitting sensitive data like bank details etc. Most of me friends don't use GPG but they all have an idea what it is now
