If you're doing tags, I would recommend an svn export vs. an svn checkout.
Branches, use svn checkout (so you can svn up)

I don't see any reason not to. If you would prefer, you could run the
checkout from any server and FTP / SSH the files
up to production in the build script. Thats actually the better way to go
when you have multiple web servers. That
way can have one build script handle all of them instead of executing a
separate deployment on each server.

Ok so it's not crazy to put an svn client on a production server for this
purpose.
Thanks for the tip!
