Revision Control - Subversion, Mercurial or Git

At the moment I am reading an article on the revision control system Mercurial in a special edition of the german computer magazine c't ("c't extra Programmieren").
I am wondering, which revision control system is the best for my needs. I suppose Mercurial is the one, though I read at some blog that you can not delete unused branches. Everything is from the begining is kept.
A tool that fits to my needs should be easy to learn and easy to use. The students should get used to that tool fast. I also think that the often as disadvantage decribed immutablility of Mercurial could be an advantage in my case. So no one is able to delete branches by mistake.
