I've used all three extensively.  Using CVS is as enjoyable as going to 
the dentist.  Perforce has an excellent branching model and best 
performance, but is proprietary.  Subversion has borrowed Perforce's 
branching model, and overall is very well designed.  Support for easy 
repeated merges didn't make it into 1.0 however.  There is definitely 
movement in the free software community towards Subversion.
