Personally I am using bazaar. I think it is more question of if you need centralized only or decentralized solution (with possibility to have central place for "stable" branch). Main advantage of bazaar over subversion is that people can have theirs own local "devel" branches locally placed on laptops and can commit changes offline. For main data repository FTP server can be used = no special needs on server side. There is multiplatform GUI for bazaar - Olive.
