I use a subversion client called SmartSVN, but it needs Java in order to run. I would like to get rid of that dependency and try something new. Can you think of a better SVN client?
I have tried TortoiseSVN and RapidSVN and I did not like any of those. I do have Versions on the mac and I absolutely love that program. Is there anything even remotely similar to that on Windows? I do not mind paying money for it.

If you happen to be doing development in Visual Studio then AnhkSVN is a good plugin that works great with Subversion

If you prefer a GUI approach, you might want to take a look at Vercue; the GUI reminds me a bit of Versions.
The other option that many people choose is some kind of IDE integration -- nowadays I do most of my SVN stuff either within IntelliJ or from the command line.

I have been using the Collabnet subversion plugin for Eclipe and it seems to be quite good. There are a couple of things not quite right with it but it is pretty solid, eg I wish the version comparison is a bit more full featured.
What kind of features are you looking for, and do you want it to be integrated into an IDE?
In general, I use TortiseSVN or the commmand line client.

What kind of client are you looking for? Are you trying to integrate with VisualStudio or Eclipse? I take it you're looking for a Windows client. If you are, you need to use the specific plugins for those environments.
You can take a look at the Wikipedia entry comparing various Subversion clients. Almost all of them will allow for free trials of at least 30 days. Many are open source.
Maybe netbeans + svn plugin?
