Git is certainly faster for large repositories (kernel sized). Hopefully Bzr 
will catch up, but at the moment it's slow on big repos (though not painfully 
slow on a reasonable machine).

Pulling git repos is also faster, because it uses rsync. But you can always 
just rsync a bzr repo.

I don't think there's much difference in terms of storage, but I could be 
wrong now that Bzr is using weaves.

Git's UI is pretty bad, although cogito might be better (I haven't used it).

Bzr has a much more friendly UI, which I think is as or more important than 
lightening fast feature blah.

I think Bzr is the better long term choice, but in the short term it might be 
a bit bleeding edge, depending on your needs.
