 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.
