A little over a decade ago, with only svn experience, I tried both mercurial and git. There was something about how mercurial handled branches that I found extremely confusing (don't remember what), while git clicked immediately - even without reading the manual.
So at least for me, git was clearly better.
Mercurial later added bookmarks which work like Git branches. These make more sense to me as well.
Did bookmarks moved as you made commits, like a branch pointer in git does?
