I would pick PyQt myself, mainly because of it's long stable pedigree.

A year ago Tom Burdick and I discussed merging CuteHg with TortoiseHg;
this was when they were still well ahead of us with a C++ shell
extension.   By the time THG was ready for a merge (we needed a
directory/package reorg), CuteHg development had essentially stopped.

I still think CuteHg would make an exceptional bootstrap of a PyQt
version of a TortoiseHg client.  Certainly a better footing than the
starting GTK version.
