With all the open source version control systems available (CVS, Subversion, GIT) I wouldn't touch something closed source and more importantly tainted by the Microsoft moniker :/ (yes I am fortunate enough to work within Linux all day long). As for other tools... a big stick >:) Seriously though, a good method of communication can be useful, it can also be annoying if someone has ADHD and keeps fire off messages or if you constantly find yourself in boring bogged down in bureaucracy meetings :( For project management I'd use something simple like the Mantis bug tracking system (it's quite useful for managing tasks despite being a bug tracking system).
