;-)

easier to use? svnserve is considerably easier to set up than
mod_dav_svn

easier to secure? do you already have ssh infrastructure? then ra_svn
over ssh would be pretty easy. if not, probably about equal IMHO.

faster? ra_svn is currently faster.

less likely to cause corruption? that's pretty much impossible to
answer. i mean if we knew one of them was definately able to cause
corruption, we'd have fixed it.

overall, ra_svn wins in simplicity and speed (at the moment anyway),
ra_dav wins in features (you can do a whole lot with apache if you
learn how) and in stability (it's had more people hammering on it for
longer).

all IMHO of course. try both out and see for yourself, just to be sure.
