I edited this because I found it slightly misleading. Particularly not mentioning the issue with SSD drives and the ext3/4 journaled file system which are fine by default. I believe it is an important topic. Please check it and see if there are errors or if something else can be added -> https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/wipe-out-files-and-partitions

I like that doc. Some time back I was reading stuff in a forum and this topic got me interested for the variety of disparate opinions on the subject. Basically what I summoned is it is very complicated. I think there is one fact: once data has been overwritten it is unrecoverable. People apply multiple passes to be sure, they repeat the process in case the first pass failed to do its job. I think the default of shred (3 passes) are enough. Gutmann's 35 passes, which is still I think the default of srm is overkill. All agree on one thing though - FDE is not only more secure but also much more convenient, so basically that whole article should be something like this:
encrypt, dood!
:P
Someone should update this guide: https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/full-disk-encryption-install to have an encrypted /boot using GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK.
