I started with one free private repository on bitbucket. After I started a second venture last week I signed up for their basic account ($5, 5 private repositories, 500GB). I use both git and mercurial, so I could just as well have signed up with github.com.
The reason for choosing bitbucket? Stability and speed. I've encountered 50+ error pages on github and on several occasions their servers were down when I needed access to some code. I also feel their site it a little slow at times (it was pretty snappy in their invite only beta days though). Bitbucket on the other hand have never failed me (user for ~1 year) and the UI is very responsive.
