What guide are you refering to ? The only stuff I found was:
http://bazaar-vcs.org/BzrMigration

which is just an list of available plug-ins/tools, with little concerning 
which is the one that match a given use case the best.

bzr-svn sounded very complex since I just wanted a simple conversion of a 
CVS repository to a Bazaar one, required some specific repository format I 
couldn't make sense of (what were the drawback coming with it?). So I picked 
bzr-fast-import as it sounded (and was if I remember correctly) simple to 
use.
