Just on my part/preference...
Git lacks GUI, bzr is a bit behind on GUI but catching up, SVN is decent. Not great but decent.
Git does the job it's designed for very well, but for many people it's not the best approach. I jump between GUI clients and command-line. On Windows I'd use TkCVS, TortoiseCVS, and command-line CVS together, and for different aspects. With SVN I use command-line and TkSVN.
Lack of Bzr integration to Eclipse was the last main negative I saw on it. SVN integration was ok, but slowed.
I've also done a survey of systems recently for other reasons, and Bzr seems to be closest to getting better than SVN.
One main drawback I find with SVN is its lack of tagging. The switch to SVN, in fact, caught me just when I was trying to add tagging to branch merges to get nice history, but SVN can't handle that. :-(
I'd definitely want to be sure we'd not hit any other hidden limitations like SVN's lack of tagging.
Now if only Git or bzr had a GUI like Perforce's... :-)
