Migrating from SVN to DVCS.

Hey,
This is an opinion question: Do you think that it is easier for a project using SVN to migrate to Bzr than to Hg or Git? Well, for Git I think the answer is obvious... so I'm thinking more of Bzr vs Hg. I am thinking of things like:
* Foreign branches and the ability of the bzr-svn bridge to let an SVN user switch to using bzr as an SVN client. The idea is that this gives an easier transition path, as long as it works well. So it relates in part to the quality of the bzr-svn bridge.
* I'm also thinking about how easy or hard it might be to actually migrate a repository to Bzr... I know that this is a place where Hg struggles a bit and I think I heard once that this has slowed down Hg's acceptance (but don't quote me on that).
I'd be interested in any thoughts you have to share on this topic.
Cheers,
Daniel.
