Git & Mercurial appear to be roughly on a par feature wise
I’ve only used git, but from what I’ve seen, this rings true.
I use git - I happen to use a version built using homebrew - http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/ - which is also built on top of git (a little recursive maybe). An alternative place to get git binaries from is http://code.google.com/p/git-osx-installer/
If you’re on 10.7, you already have git installed. For that reason alone, I’d choose it over Mercurial (since you’re starting fresh and have no preference).
