There's real value in working with familiar tools, certainly. But for a single purpose service, such as Subversion, it's possible to lock down a single service device far more thoroughly, and have much better control of when the system gets updated, backed up, etc. And the filesystem performance of separate storage, such as NFS versus CIFS, tends to be a lot better. CIFS 2 might address this: I've not had the chance to try it.
