I have looked at these four VCSs and find it particularly hard to distinguish real down to earth reasons why not to use one of them. I do like the fact that git / cogito is maintained by Linus and friends, meaning long life and cunning view of particularly sharp developers continually evolving and fixing the code. And fact that it has to be fast, and it is.

A few years ago when Linus first announced his version control system
after leaving BitKeeper (?), he said that his VCS was only designed for
the Linux kernel developers and wasn't intended for wide-spread use.  I
don't know if this is still true.  YMMV.
