Just my personal experience: 

Mercurial just worked for me from the beginning, and I was never surprised by 
it, except by the fact that everything just worked (you seldom get that with 
Computers). 

Git bit me once too often, so that I switched to doing only basic tasks with 
it (when I have to use it). 
It didn't yet cost me my work, since when I realized I was on the verge of 
breaking something really baldy I got a new clone and copied over the files I 
had modified. But it cost me hours in trying to get things to work as I needed 
them (most times ending with me getting a new clone, since I couldn't figure 
out what I did wrong - and being told weeks later by a friend that I could 
have solved that easily with command X). 

Of Git I grew wary over many bad experiences. 

With Mercurial on the other hand I enjoy trying new things, and I just enjoy 
working. 

So much for my personal experience, 
I hope it helps you. 

Best wishes, 
Arne
