There are a lot of reasons to prefer one tool over another. Common ones are familiarity, simplicity, and power.Add here documentation, speed, availability of extensions and 3rd-party tools, hosting options (both locally installable and web services).
For me, the killer 3rd party tool in favor of hg is TortoiseHg, which I use on Windows. As far as I know (I did check a bit), there is no equivalent for git on Windows. For me, the evaluation should be between hg+TortoiseHG versus git+???.
For instance, having the DAG nicely displayed is especially important given the CPython repository policy of 1 head per branch and all commits on maintenance branches merged forward. A week ago, someone left an unmerged 3.5 commit. When I opened THG and looked at the graph, it was immediately obvious. About 6 clicks and it was merged forward, committed, and pushed. To me, the idea of having to instead type (and likely, mistype) 3 commands is unacceptible.
