Do not base your decision based on the quality of the interface, but based on the quality of the model. If the model fit yours, then it's a fit for you. I doubt cvs/svn will be a fit for you based on your distributed / disconnected nature of your workflow.
I will say that git is very cool, but workflow DOES make a huge difference ... I haven't switched to GIT for our primary revision control mainly because of this. For someone starting out, git is pretty complex, and the best way to mitigate complexity is nice tools integration. Someone mentioned it earlier, egit is a start, but it's not there, yet. On the other hand, the SVN and CVS plugins in Eclipse are excellent. For many scenarios, CVS/SVN are just fine -- certainly coming from nothing, they would be a huge benefit. If you're a hardcore commandline person and you like reading sorta-ok-tutorials online, then git is very cool. If you'd rather have nice tool integration, for now, I would recommend CVS/SVN.

I do agree, though, that your partial disconnectedness makes CVS/SVN a bit of a tougher workflow. However, I would be nervous of turning you off to version control by going to git out of the gates ("Brought to you by the Makers of the Linux Kernel" :) ).

It matters far more that you use version control than which version control you use, though.
