There is a relevant question concerning tools for GIT similar to tortoise.

The advantages of GIT over SVN are discussed over and over so it's not something someone should elaborate here

As for my entirely personal taste and view, i continue to stick to svn based on my personal requirements of what i want from my version control and i consider svn to be in a whole other level of tool and community support. Also i consider svn very mature and that doesn't necesserily mean that git doesn't get the job done.
