There are huge arguments all over the net on this topic. Having extensively
used the top two contenders (Git and Mercurial) I would strongly advise you
to use Mercurial.

What it comes down to for me is that Mercurial usage fits in my head and I
rarely have to go to the docs, whereas with Git I have to constantly go to
the docs for anything but the most trivial usage - even when it's something
I've done many times before. I'm always afraid that I'm going to do
something *wrong* in Git.
