I used to sync my publish folder with btsync but after facing issues, looking into proper tools now. Also i am a newbie, so instead of chef or puppet, I am looking into CI tools and their deployment capabilities now. As far as i know, tools like chef provides you full server configuration management. I am guessing with EC2 custom AMIs and Teamcity i will be able to pull it off. What do you think?

I've never used Teamcity, but it looks nice. I do agree chef/puppet can be overkill when you can just do custom AMIs. Definitely make sure you're using proper version control... Honestly, you don't give enough information for a proper opinion, but it'd probably be more informative to just do what you think is best and see how it works out. Ultimately the best workflow is the one that works (even when things go wrong).
What more info you would like to know? We already have SVN in place. We are developing asp.net web app, and currently i manually migrate changes to release branch and publish from that branch.
