I've used both Git and Hg for complicated projects and Hg is easier to 
understand, more intuitive (Git's syntax is really non-intuitive IMO), 
better documented, has better tooling.  It's also easier to fix mistakes 
in Hg than Git IMHO.  Once one can use MQ one has all the flexibility 
one needs.

Hg also doesn't allow you to blow your leg off like Git does.  Hg at 
least warns you first ;)

I also prefer Bitbucket over GitHub.

The plugins for Eclipse/IntelliJ are quite good (I'm an Eclipse user, 
some of my colleagues are IntelliJ)

Hg does have a bisect command, and there is the HgShelve extension that 
is much like Git's stash feature.
