My experience of bzr is from a few years ago and it was a bit ropey in basic places (bzrignore comes to mind).. alas I don't have any more than that.

Git and its tools are lightning fast, having been designed to cope with the kernel source tree. hg is OK but sometimes chugs a bit, particularly with large repos (work has around 58k commits), and tortoisehg can be slow at times because of this.

A few years ago, at a previous employer, hg and git were the two front runners in the race, considered about equally powerful - the choice came down to the windows tools being better for hg at that time, though I gather that git may have caught up a bit.
