Anything except Visual SourceSafe.  Seriously.

CVS and SVN are very close, both are safe bets.  We switched from VSS
to SVN at work, and it works great.  We use mostly binary files (We're
a MS office--Microsoft Office Documents, NI LabVIEW VIs), and it gets
the job done.  If you're using either for a simple job (which it
sounds like), you can't go wrong with either.
