Why is Eclipse deleting my files and putting them in 'Local History'!

Several times now I've had Eclipse delete files for me seemingly randomly - then they appear under the 'Local History' option. What is going on! I'm definitely not just deleting things by mistake.

Which Eclipse Subversion plugin should I use?

Subclipse, Subversive, or something else? There's a bit of debate around the topic, can we come to some conclusion here?
