I use a combination of SourceTree and TortoiseHg with the HgGit extension...what's sad is that TortoiseHg tends to work better than SourceTree, and definitely ebtter than the official GitHub client.

TortoiseHg with HgGit? Why don't you just use TortoiseGit?

TortoiseHg is completely different than TortoiseGit, despite the similar names (and logos). While the latter is an assortment of context menus and dialogs, THG has this plus a great "workbench" which combines everything into one. It's easily possible to use THG alone without ever touching the command line which is a rather nice feature when trying to convince non-programmers to use version control. If there was a git equivalent, I'd happily use it.
