rcs is good for single files, does not need much to setup. not good for sharing 
between colaborators.

svn is 'better' version of cvs (cvs is not much supported by lyx anyway).
it needs more expertise to setup, but its can track the whole archive of
files (child documents,pictures,bibtex files etc).

for rcs only installing is enough. you can immediately use "register" in lyx VC 
menu.
be careful only single document file is tracked, not its pictures...

for svn you need to google some svn guide.
