(#18849075)
I use BitBucket for my solo private repositories specifically because it was free. They are a trivial load to the provider in both storage and transactions.
Repositories which I make public I put on GitHub since that seems to be where people will find them and are more likely to contribute.
Had this policy been in place when I started using git I never would have found and used Bitbucket, but I don't feel anything is gained by moving my private BitBuckets to GitHub.
Update: I see another reply talking about the web interfaces. If I used them that might be a factor, but for my private stuff the only web functions I use are for creating the repositories, and both platforms get that done easily enough.
