My experience with version control systems rather says that it's most
important that you have one, and that it's getting crucial to pay
attention to the subtleties and differences between the systems only
in very complex projects (where you're benefiting from branches etc.).

For graphics and stuff, Alienbrain [1] is supposed to be good, but
personally I found it the most awkward system so far; CVS [2],
Subversion (SVN) [3], and Perforce [4] are all pretty neat systems (of
which I usually prefer SVN).

If there's absolutely no chance to set up a version control system,
any tool that allows for collaboration and document histories (like
e.g. Google Docs, Sites, or any decent wiki), should be preferred over
having files hanging around the local machine. That is not just
careless and risky but rather unprofessional.
