svn+ssh is closer to using svn on the local filesystem

user permissions are those of the ssh user

you specify the path in the usual ssh way

if the repo is at ~/repository
svn+ssh://example.com:repository

or if its in a shared location maybe

svn+ssh://example.com:/var/svn/myproject

and if you have a special svn account

svn+ssh://svnuser@example.com:/var/svn/myproject


It works fine if you have the svn repo on your dev machine and sometimes 
work from elsewhere via ssh

...and you can mix it with svn over apache (but it's hard to get the 
permissions right)

I wonder if you can access the same repository via both plain svn and 
svn over apache ....
