DBAN. A few random passes is more than sufficient. The old Gutmann wipe sequence was designed for old MFM/RLL disks and the like. It was designed to flip the magnetic fields in various specific old encodings that aren't used anymore. It's therefore about as irrelevant as keeping a sack of oats in your car in case the horses get hungry.
