I use linking, when I run a stable drupal (463) then I can be sure that the 46 
contribs fit with those. 
I copy modules when I want to hack them up or when I need to develop on them.

In the last case, I also commit anything to my private SVN and then work from 
there. Esp if it is not only me wrking on the code this is really nessecary.

Then all sorts of hackish scripts do nightly updates of CVS into my HEAD in 
svn, and with some fillding we can merge changes into our working repository.

now this part is where it all gracefully fails. Both SVN and CVS are simply 
not fit for working across multiple repositories with multiple versions.
