Heya Mark, Take a look at http://www.cvsnt.org/wiki/CvsntAdvantages. CVSNT blows vanilla cvs away. Tortoise is designed for and infact uses cvsnt as its client. I prefer WinCVS as a client since apart from coding I roll up releases, take care of major branching and tagging and like to use WinCVS's "Flat Mode" feature. Other Day to Day developers like the convienence, integration with explorer and simplicity of Tortoise. It doesn't hurt to have both installed and use either as you see fit. I have not used eclipse but it has a reputation for misbehaving wrt to CVSNT. Special measures have been put in place to make it possible to get eclipse to think that it is talking to a vanilla cvs server even though the underlying server is cvsnt. Configuring the server in this way may potentially impact on the features available to your smarter clients like WinCVS and Tortoise (Not Sure About This). Others who actually use eclipse might be able to tell you what functionality is missing.
