Assuming that I'm starting a new web project at home using Visual Studio, which version control system, viz. Git or Subversion will be better to use? Which one will have the least setup complexity?

SVN is better than Git for architecture performance, binary files, and usability. And it may be better for access control and auditability, based on your needs.
Many people prefer Git for version control for a few reasons: It's faster to commit. Because you commit to the central repository more often in SVN, network traffic slows everyone down. Whereas with Git, you're working mostly on your local repository and only committing to the central repository every so often.
What is Git-SVN? The git-svn tool is an interface between a local Git repository and a remote SVN repository. Git-svn lets developers write code and create commits locally with Git, then push them up to a central SVN repository with svn commit-style behavior.
Preserving history. SVN is configured to assume that the history of a project never changes. Git allows you to modify previous commits and changes using tools like git rebase . GitHub supports Subversion clients, which may produce some unexpected results if you're using both Git and SVN on the same project.
Since this is for your own personal playing around, my question is simple: Do you know Subversion or Git already?
If you don't know either - use SVN. It's a better introduction.
