I am using Bazaar on a few servers (currently circa 20 active contributors 
altogether, and rising; will be moving 50+ users from SVN during next 
month probably) and am very satisfied. It's simple to use, extremely 
simple to set-up, accessible through HTTP/HTTPS/ SFTP, FTP and whatnot, 
plays nice - albeit with the help of a plugin - with Trac (great 
wiki/bugtracker/project management engine - http://trac.edgewall.org).

One of the biggest pros of bzr for me is that it's sufficient to restrict 
access to the repo by setting file/directory permissions and group 
ownerships right. Simplifies a lot of things.

Plus, people coming from SVN will feel at home, as almost all commands 
(bzr ci, bzr co, bzr up...) are the same as in svn.

In case of scalability - I've got a project with a few thousands 
revisions, dozens of merges between branches and thousands of files - my 
bzr server sits on a Celeron 800MHz box and works without any hickups.

Of course, I would suggest trying out other options (although as far as I 
have read on Teh Intertubes, git can be mighty frustrating - anyody any 
thoughts on this?) to see, which fits you best.
