GDCM 1.2 is the one in sync with ITK. So as far as I am concerned it is 
well tested (at least via ITK) and has numerous users. I have been 
trying to keep 1.2 up to date with CVS to get the new features and bug 
fixes, but this is an asynchronous process...and only depend on my mood :-P
So of course I'd suggest gdcm 1.2, but keep in mind that switching to 
1.3.x or CVS will require quite a few changes (API is not backward 
compatible). so you make the choice...

There is a long answer here. But the short answer is I'll try to get the 
dashboard back from the dead on my side. Thanks for report.
