I can only speak for myself...

I would choose Perforce over BitKeeper because of the way BitMover
(BitMover, Inc. is the company behind BitKeeper) has a website with a lot of
FUD and there is no transparent pricing information at all either.  In
general, I am very skeptical of companies engaging in such pricing and
information practices and if there is another choice I will avoid them if
possible at all.
