I would *really* like to use darcs, but that's more due to "ideology" than
anything else :-)

From the numbers I would agree with the conclusion that git is more suitable
for a repo of this size.  I find your last comment interesting, since it
could
mean that darcs would be suitable if we don't attempt to "abs-ify" all of
hackage at once.
