I don't know which it better, but at least different: git has automatic garbage collection for dangling commits (after 30 days or so by default).
With Mercurial, if you want to remove dangling commits, you have to do it by hand. And if they have been pushed, you have to go to the remote repo and manually remove them there too. And everyone else who has pulled them, will need to manually remove them.
