Git makes the best "central" option, because you can push to it with
almost every other DVCS. The two most popular DVCS's are git and
mercurial, the second can be used on a git repo with hg-git.

I believe bzr is not *that* much better than git to outweigh git's
popularity. And hg-git keeps mercurial an option too.

My guess is that Easy Git makes a transition from svn even simpler.

and the comparison is very helpful:

Personally, I have nothing against bzr and I would choose it over svn
in a heartbeat anyday. And if you can use bzr on a git repo (and I
presume you can), it doesn't make a difference if one prefers one DVCS
over another.=20

I know that bzr is great and deserves a lot of respect. For non-git
DVCSes it is somewhat unfortunate, that people use 'DVCS' and 'git'
interchangeably, as is the case here - while comparing with svn.

Assuming all major DVCS's have reasonable SVN or git repo support,
discussing specific DVCS's here seems off topic.
