Which Subversion do I install for Windows?
I was reading this article on Coding Horror:
http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2008/04/setting-up-subversion-on-windows.html
I went to the downloads and am confused. I would have just downloaded the first entry but I am afraid it would break my server or something if I don't have apache. We use IIS only and I wouldn't want to break it somehow. I don't even need a web or webdav front end.
Which one should I install on this page, please:

thank you for any help.
edit: thanks for information, but I am hoping to stay free with the "regular" subversion. I plan on using TortoiseSVN for the client.
Edit: Please use http://subversion.apache.org/packages.html#windows if you need recent Windows binaries.
I'd recommend VisualSVN, it's very easy to set up and the server software is free. Then for your client machine(s) I'd say you want to install TortoiseSVN
Your download link is a bit dated, the Subversion project has recently moved homepages. Try the download links at subversion.apache.org. In particular, click on "CollabNet" under the "Windows" heading and try the topmost download option. If you need more information about setting up a server, take a look at the e-book "Version Control with Subversion"; this is the "official" Subversion book and covers every aspect of using Subversion, from setting up and administering a server to using it as a normal developer.
As for client software, I agree with several other posters here that TortoiseSVN is a great graphical utility for Windows.
From that list, you want the Setup-Subversion-1.5.6.msi. Don't worry about the apache bindings, if you don't use them, they won't interfere. After you install the subversion executables, install TortoiseSVN on top, tortoise doesn't include the svn executables.
edit: Strike that, you'll want to get subversion 1.6.x. Check out the CollabNet distributions (http://www.collab.net/downloads/subversion/) and get the 1.6.9 build. That's what the latest Tortoise is built against.
I agree with most that TortoiseSVN is the best svn client, but if you want integration with Visual Studio AnhkSvn is good. If you want to get really crazy I believe they work side by side.
