I too run Subversion via Apache on Windows 2003 and it runs very well.
If you're running on a physical server, even the most basic
server-grade hardware will handle it fine (my original SVN server is
on a somewhat old box). If you're running in a VM (as my new SVN
server is), it'll barely make a dent in the overall VM host memory &
CPU utilization.
You really should only support one repository access method at a time.
Apache is, IMHO, the most-flexible and most network admin-friendly way
to go. No extra ports to open, you can use mod_deflate to compress the
traffic, allow people to browse the repository via a web browser (and
customize the appearance via XSLT), and integrate with LDAP/Active
Directory authentication.
If you run both svnserve and Apache, you run a risk of a concurrency
issue - it's a tiny risk, but the overhead of maintaining two server
processes for the same service just doesn't make it worthwhile to me.
Plus, it's just less confusing for your users if you give them one
access scheme.
