From my experience, PuTTY keys with Pageant (loaded at startup and
prompting the user for their passphrase as soon as they login) combined
with svn+ssh is definitely the easiest of the methods. No password
prompts after the initial login and everything "just works" (and is very
secure).
Of course, it requires that you run a SSH daemon on the server (tricky
in Windows, but I hear cygwin works well). It also works best in
Unix/Linux where you can assign users to groups and assign those groups
proper permissions for the repository folders.
