To have a larger user base and better performance, GitHub is the better
option (more tools work out-of-the-box with it). GitLab has a clunkier
interface, in my opinion, but possibly more features than GitHub. Both are
good choices, I'd say. If there is a will to replace Trac in the future
while keeping a self-hosted solution, then GitLab may be a better choice,
because it is open source.

Git to start with :p (Darcs/Pijul and their carefully designed patch
theory).
