If you are using CFEclipse...SVN works well (or so I am told *grin*) and you can also buy a plugin for Dreamweaver. Subversion does have it's downsides as well. If the above conditions do not exist, it will greatly increase your development time as you will have to constantly commit to get changes on your server. This entails having a windows explorer window open and when you save the changes, going into that, right clicking on the file and either selection commit or going into the subversion menu (depending on what version you have) and click on commit. This brings up a window that scans the folder and brings up a list of all the files (if you are committing a folder)...or the file. You hit ok, which pops up another window that shows the commit process. Updates (which you would do at the beginning of the day to ensure you have the current copy of all the files) can take a long time depending on the amount of changes made and the size of the repository.
I prefer VSS as it is integrated with most web dev tools and is a bit more transparent to the development process. From what I am told by some of the SVN fans I have as friends, it is much better than CVS by a long shot.
