For me it is Git. I'm using it since some years now. It is powerful and
works pretty well in all contexts I have encountered. I have used a bit
Mercurial (didn't like the old way to branch, forcing to have multiple
directories, I understand that there is new feature to solve this). I
have read some Bazaar documentation, it seems quite nice. But at the
moment I won't switch because Git is very very very fast.

I've used extensively CVS and Subversion in the past. I won't move back
to those for any reasons.

When I need to work with a Subversion repository I use git-svn which is
a bi-directional tunnel. I'm working on many Open Source projects this
way since some time now.

I have also used "git bisect" two or three time already... This is
another reason I won't leave Git (at least for the moment).

Just my 2 cents.

Pascal.
