Beyond compare is nice, but also very slow compared to a checked out copy. Yes, you do end up with the .svn folders on production, but they are not accessible through the browser, and they speed up deployments immensely. We used to use a tool similar to beyond compare for doing deployments, and let me tell you, it was a PITA. We had to zip up all the code, ftp it to production, unzip it, and compare the two source trees. I'm not sure why you would consider something like that a better practice then checking out a working copy on prd. I understand that you shouldn't edit files on prd, but with the old method, that's exactly what was happening. Because the deployment process was such a pain, quick fixes were done directly on production. This is no longer the case with SVN. I would really like to hear why you don't think that it's the best practice. I think our process is pretty flawless.
