We have a fairly large codebase, and it takes a while to check it all out. If I'm doing a small change (lets say a spelling change, etc). I can just go into that folder and do an update and it will take only a second or two. Or I can even do an update of the whole source tree, and it will still not take very long. I really don't see the point of exporting a whole fresh copy of the code just for a simple change. Even for larger changes svn update would be much more efficient then exporting a new copy of the code. We also use FRS to replicate the files between cluster members, and if I were to export the whole code tree, it would have to sync every file to the other cluster members. Obviously developing straight on production is a no-no... but if there's an emergency, I can either roll back to an older revision, or fix the code in place and then commit it straight from production. With all these benefits, I don't see why you wouldn't trunk to production. If you're talking about why we use trunk instead of a branch, that's just a decision we've made that works for us. Trunk is always the latest stable code that's on production, and it makes making small changes easy. As I mentioned, for larger changes we use branches which get merged into trunk once they've passed QA.
