In my experience Source Tree is good but it happens to have noticeable slowdown and "jank" on both OS X and Windows after a while.

On OS X I've been using Tower to great effect. Unfortunately it's OS X only.

I've found Tower to be very sluggish on a large repository on OS X, where as Source Tree keeps on trucking.

Our repo is 4GB and has about 1 million commits.

Source Tree is the only client on Mac I've found so far that doesn't completely grind to a halt on a repository of this size.
