What do you prefer and why ? And which one can I easily use for disk or file system or file encryption on Linux or BSD ?
I’m not sure I’d want to use a hardware key for file encryption. They can get lost, and that would mean losing all of your data. I personally only use my key for U2F, as a second factor, with TOTP backup codes in case I lose my key.
Encryption systems like LUKS can be configured to take more than one key. You can actually use a USB key with a file on it, and fall back to a pass phrase input prompt if the stick is absent.

To be exact I bought the SoloKey from the DiceKey crowfunding campaign because was claimed to be Libre Hardware and Libre Software.
Edit: I only use it for authentication in my online accounts as a additional second factor to avoid using OTP sometimes.
Is an hardware key really useful ? Or is it more like a good “gadget” ?
