I have used Bzr, CVS, Darcs, Git, Hg (Mercurial), Perforce and SVN.

While Perforce is definitely better than CVS (anything is better than
CVS), Perforce's client workspace concept is a bad idea for complex
projects (it bit my group of 4 developers time after time).

Compared to the DVCSs above (Bzr, Darcs, Git and Hg) Perforce has
no significant advantages and on significant disadvantage, cost.
Yes I know there is a free as in  beer version, but all of those
others are available under official Open Source licenses.

HTH,
Erik
