I rarely use GUI tools that come with git. Although gitk is really excellent if you want to examine history, especially since feature to use external diff viewer is added. MinGW version of Git works good on Windows but if you need to use git-svn you'll have to work with Cygwin because MinGW version still doesn't work well.
Nevertheless what really amazed me in Git are easy branching and merging, git stash (put away your current, not commited work, make changes and applying ongoing work back) and git bisect that is really helpful in chasing bugs that occur at some point in time.
