I have been using Mercurial for everything for the past six months or so, and 
I really like it.  I chose it over the others because it seemed somewhat 
better documented (there is a pretty good and mostly complete book on using 
it at http://www.red-bean.com/~bos/hgbook.pdf) and it's really fast.

Here is a speed comparison between bazaar and mercurial to get an idea of 
performance:

However, lots of people use the other ones as well; any one of them would 
probably work great.

Either way, I highly recommend switching to a distributed VCS, *especially* 
with Bradley lacking net access.  I shudder at the thought of having to merge 
big blobs of changes like he has been doing.  And, branching becomes trivial!

Just my 2c.
