SVN is not the best choice considering that LabView is a binary format. However, it's better than no source controlling either.

You have some alternatives like git, but SVN seems to be the one with most clients and "ease". If your team mates love the commandline, git may be a little easier and "cleaner".

However, even if you don't need version controlling, it is nice to have a central repository for all your code, side projects, accidents, experiments, etc.

Team 2502 has a working Trac with SVN repo and it's a really nice system when you need to quickly download a single file or something.

Plus, we can attach messages to the commits so we know what the person was thinking and what the person was doing. Our programming team isn't large, it's mainly me and few other guys just working with me on my screen, etc.

Go with SVN. Especially if you know someone that can set up Apache with svn module. I set it up on my basement server and it's really nice. Even at school with locked down ports, I slip right through port 80 and a lot of convenience.
