I prefer to use darcs for code because it automatically merges any non-conflicting changes when pulling patches from different repositories. This makes it very easy and natural to create a branch for changes and then integrate them into other branches with minimal difficulty. Mercurial does not do automatic merging, so non-conflicting changes to the same file require manual review. However mercurial is much faster with large repositories and supports filesystem links even on Windows, so I use it for versioning large server configurations with many binary files.
