these two operations do different things.

svn co only retrieves the last revision, bzr co retrieves the full
 history (all revisions). there is no way in svn to retrieve all history at once.

You can retrieve just the last revision with bzr as well, by running
"bzr co --lightweight <url>". Of course this has other drawbacks, since
more operations will then have to contact the server.
