Some time ago, I had to decide between git and hg for my personal
projects. I opted to go with hg because I felt the docs were better
(
http://hgbook.red-bean.com/
, for example) and the Windows support for hg was much better at the
time (luckily, that's no longer an issue for me, as I'm not using
Windows ATM :). For what it's worth, some people at my local JUG use
git and have complained about the inconsistency between one command
and another. I can neither confirm nor deny, as I've never used git
in anger. I am, though, quite happy with Mercurial. Also, for what
it's worth, it's my understanding that GlassFish (in addition to
NetBeans, OpenJDK, etc) will be moving to hg at some point, so there
are major projects on both systems.
With regard to hosting, I'm using
kenai.com for Mojarra Scales and
FacesTester, and I've been really happy with it. I get a nice wiki,
hg (or git or svn or cvs), and JIRA. I realize there may be concerns
with kenai of various sorts, so, if that's not an option,
bitbucket.org is one option for hosting projects. The Mercurial
maintains a fairly lengthy list here:

We all agreed to use git over svn, but to be honest, mercurial
wasn't considered. I've used both as well. But in my short exposure,
I really didn't see a difference. What makes git so attractive is
that
github.com explains so well how to use it.
I supposed we could consider mercurcial if there was a nice out of
the box hosting option like
github.com. If not, git will likely win
because of that.

I have seen a reasonable amount of GIT, and have liked what I saw,
as have most of the other core team who have spoken up on this issue.
Sell us Mercurial :-)
