I've used both hg+bitbucket and git+github. In my experience, there is very little difference between hg and git in terms of workflow. I found both to be great and the tools are pretty mature across all platforms. I do think GitHub is rapidly becoming a killer application for open source projects. If you look at the IronRuby repository (http://github.com/ironruby/ironruby), there are already 340 watchers and 109 forks, which is a non-negligible consideration imho.
