I have used both SourceSafe, CVS (as well as PVCS and Continuus) and I would easily pick CVS over SourceSafe and PVCS. Continuus is fine if you have big $$$ and a very capable Continuus administrator. The only was I would consider SourceSafe over CVS is if you have money to burn, are windows only, and have an IDE that you just feel you *must* have that only works with SourceSafe. If so, SourceSafe is great.
