I went with subversion at my work.  It is a very stable and well supported
centralized RCS.  We didn't have a need for distributed arrangement (a la
git, bazaar, etc).  Also using Trac as our web frontend for source code
browsing (along with wiki, ticketing, and roadmaps).  All together (along
with some perl glue) we're using it for system administration tasks and it
is flexible enough to handle it just fine.

I'd imagine subversion would be the most recommended.

I don't know of any personally, but I'm sure you could find a number of
them that host subversion.
