Depends on what you want to achieve. If you just want logical volumes, LVM (I ommit the "2") is fine. EVMS gives you much more. It handles the whole process from partitioning to fs creation in one single program (either ncurses or gtk based). It also has so called feature plugins, which perform special tasks on a per volume basis (i.e. I use the BBR plugins on all volumes on a laptop). Maybe you should take a look at http://evms.sourceforge.net and decide for yourself. OTOH, you could just start with LVM and switch over to EVMS later. It has a plugin for LVM volumes. HTH...
