The latest version of SourceSafe seems pretty good. We had problems with corruption 3-4 years ago, but haven't had problems since then. There's no real problem with multiple checkouts, just have to be careful when merging. Big thing is to make sure you get/merge at least once a day.
We were going to change to subversion, but source safe seems a better bet for Microsoft Visual Studio type environments. The one problem with SourceSafe is that you really need to be able to have a connection to your SourceSafe database all the time, so its not so good for remote development. Subversion would be a better bet for this kind of thing.
