Right now, I'd prefer the import by parsecvs because of the

the overall structure of the CVS repository.

Well, once imported, you could just go through the branches and tags, and 
just delete the ones you consider uninteresting, and then do a "git gc".

You'd want to re-pack after a fast-import anyway (regardless of the source 
of the fast-import input), so maybe cvs2svn ends up giving you a bit 
unnecessary info, but it should be easy enough to get rid of 
after-the-fact.
