I build client sites from every module's dev branch. I still pull everything from CVS, usually the DRUPAL-5 tag, but sometimes the DRUPAL-5--2 or DRUPAL-5--3 tags. This usually gives me the latest "dev" version of the module.
I used to do that too, then I discovered drush which works with update status to get the recommended release version and check that out for you. it is positively painless. the command to install panels is: drush pm install panels that it. drush downloads (or cvs checkout - your choice) the files to sites/all/modules or to a multisite depending on your config and you are ready to activate the module. i will be publishing a drush screencast soon.
