Don't want to start the debate on SCM here but I'm following the 
mercurial and monotone mailing lists and my personal opinion is that 
they have yet to mature. I use Subversion (over https) and Perforce 
every day and I would prefer Subversion without reservations, because I 
think that going to the server for *everything* is a serious 
architectural error. Arch and any other tools I don't know anything 
about, so I can't comment.
So, from maturity and utility standpoint, my choice would be Subversion 
(unknowns such as arch to be investigated). I believe the key objection 
to Subversion is that it doesn't allow "local commits." I never tried an 
SCM software that has such feature so I have no idea why it's required.
