svn update or rsync - which is best to update live files

Hi, I have subversion up and running quite well now(thanks to everyone
here :-))

Now I've come to the point in my development where I need to figure out
what's the best method for transferring my svn files to my live site.

I've read that I should use a post-commit hook, which is fine I'm using a
pre-commit hook already so I'm aware of how they work.

My main question is: Which method is best for updating my live files?
Should I use rsync in my post hook or should I use svn update?

http://subversion.apache.org/faq.html#website-auto-update this page
recommends using svn update, but I wanted to get some input from the
community too.

Thanks in advance!
