Having just completed transitioning a number of deployments over to 
DCWorkflow, I have to say that DCWorkflow is a better option if 
you'll _ever_ need to make changes to workflow. It's actually 
pretty straight forward if you start with the 'default_workflow 
(Web-configurable workflow [Classic])' as your baseline. It allows 
you see how the standard CMF workflow is done using DC. After that 
you can move along to your own versions.

The DCWorkflow document is helpful to.
