If you decide to use DARCS and there aren't yet tools like this for it, 
I might write them. DARCS gets my vote, in addition to SVN, over CVS.

In my experience with DARCS, it has bugs which arise because of the 
unique features it has. Since SVN forces you to use a much more rigid 
development model these bugs can't arise. I still think DARCS is worth 
it because it works beautifully much of the time and I quite like the 
workflow model it has, with multiple distributed "repositories". It is 
certainly a huge step up from what I have seen in slate now, with 
people emailing huge changesets around. SVN wouldn't solve this 
problem.
