We're using Perforce; it handles binary assets just fine.  We have
done a bunch of scripting to automate some content processes, e.g. so
that artists can hit a button in Maya to do the appropriate
edit/checkout.  This seems to be working pretty smoothly for us.

My (third-hand) understanding of AlienBrain is that they are adding
value by including a lot of this convenience scripting and integrating
for popular tools.
