itself is updated.
Csup is faster, built-in, and has no third party
dependencies. Theoretically it should have less potential for
problems. Cvsup is a third party port, which itself depends on
other third party ports.
I believe there are a couple of obscure functionalities that
cvsup has that csup does not. If you're asking this question, you
(probably) don't have to worry about them.
For the general user, csup is a drop-in replacement. My
expereince - as a general user - supports this.

It used to be (some versions ago) that csup only handled checkout mode
and not CVS mode (that is, a mode of operation that allows you to mirror
a complete CVS repository which in effect allows you to checkout and
commit locally to your copy). This was for me the only reason to keep
cvsup around. But csup has caught up with this functionality eliminating
the need to install and use cvsup, esp. since csup is part of the base
system.
