I think it kinda depends on what you want to do. I use Subversion and Bazaar (http://bazaar-vcs.org/), which is based somewhat on Arch. Subversion is nice if you want to keep a central repo and it is pretty fast for remote work. It seems to me if you are starting a repo then there really isn't a reason to do CVS over svn.
Bazaar (bzr) is used extensively in Ubuntu and is a decentralized revision control (i.e. no central repo). I really like it for local revision control because you only have one .bzr directory in the root of the branch that holds all the repo information (instead of having .svn or CVS dirs in every dir) . You can move that dir wherever you want, it's all self-contained. You can throw the dir on a webserver (no special protocol) or tar it up and send it to somebody. I do find bzr to be slower with remote activities (I usually end up just rsync'ing the dir rather than using the bzr publishing command). Part of this is because it actually grabs the entire repo (history and all) rather than just check out a working copy like svn does.
