IMO, you get the best flexibility if you run your own server. (that is, have root on it; a VPS would work as well). They're pretty cheap these days (I'm sure you can get one for less than 70$ a month). This, of course, doesn't save you from doing regular backups, which is something I learned the hard way.
SVN sucks. I don't have much experience with GIT, but it must be better (I've read some docs). I'm using Mercurial for my own stuff — it has the best of both worlds: easy to use, yet fast, powerful and decentralised. I'd say go for HG if you have a choice. Cheers, -M.
