I'd recommend you use auctex for writing your thesis: it knows about
many LaTeX packages (and you can teach it more), so you get
autocompletion and highlighting. It does quasi-wysiwyg for fonts and
math. It can render fragments for quick checking and interface with
external viewers. And it has some folding support, albeit not as nice as
org-mode's.

Org-mode would basically give you three things:
  - sectioning/folding
  - todo lists
  - simple tables
Org-mode is wonderful for quickly taking notes and generate LaTeX/pdf
out of them. But for a book/thesis you cannot beat auctex.

Best regards,

     Maurizio
