Hi Neil, This crops up regularly on this list so a search of the archives may be prove fruitful for you. We use CVS because our IDE of choice is CFEclipse and the CVS integration is part of the base eclipse product. We too have very large systems and several of them (although probably not as big as yours) and we do use local dev machines. So each PC has cf developer edition and IIS under WXP pro.
CVS handles branching and it is made easy to manage by the tools in eclipse. SVN is the next generation of CVS and has fixed some CVS limitations so this is worth a look. Alot depends on the IDE you want to use and how important having it integrated to this IDE is. In terms of deployment CVS/SVN allow you to select a snapshot of code to release (in various ways) but how it moves from server to server is down to you. We have written a little CF app which provides a nice interface to some ANT scripts which are able to extract code from CVS and then copy it around. Hope all that helps! There are lots of choices, I chose CVS because it was tried and tested with lots of good tools. Good Luck!
