My advice: Don't use subversion if you're a single developer.
Unless it's really easy to use. (I use Dreamhost[1] and they have  
unlimited instant subversion repo creation, so I use that)

Setting up a local subversion repo is not worth the effort, just use  
Mercurial instead. Git it lovely, but totally overkill for a website.

I'm probly going to be switching to Mercurial for everything soon.
I'm just too used to subversion to really need to upgrade yet. And  
since I can make an http hosted repo in a few seconds, it's really  
easy still.

so, my advice:

Subversion, no
Mercurial, yes
