The MercurialEclipse Plugin works absolutely fine. I install CFB 2 as an Eclipse plugin in a stand-alone Eclipse setup though, I can't speak of other configurations.
Re choosing a (D)VCS - I've seen there is a rather long discussion on pros and cons and the emotions behind why to prefer which system already, so I won't go there. A few guidelines though: - DVCS (git or Hg) is imho preferable over non DVCS like Subversion, CVS, SourceSafe etc. The main reason for the majority of people would be the benefits when it comes to branching and merging code because that actually works really well with both git and Hg. - Don't go for "Everyone is doing Git nowadays" arguments to drive your decision. Git on Windows is not up to scratch and if you want to keep everything inhouse anyway, systems for social coding such as Github (which is really cool for sharing code, open source projects etc) are not relevant to you. Hg is much better suited for a Windows client/server environment. - I do some work with a team that has switched from SVN to Hg about 6 months ago - we decided to go for Joel Spolsky's Kiln server product (which is based on Hg) to host the repositories. It's an absolutely awesome product for a Windows setup, gives you an environment for hosting your Hg repos inhouse, a code review system and if you want you can tie it easily to their Fogbugz environment or other bug trackers. It's commercial software, i.e. not free - but absolutely worth the money.
