For private projects I have my own self-hosted installation of gitbucket.

Public projects are largely hosted on my own instance again, but also mirrored to github. (I like github, and I trust them, but equally I don't want to be reliant upon them so setting up mirroring before they die is better than doing so in a mad-panic as they fail!)

For stuff I need to be remotely accessible, I use BitBucket and a commercial GitHub Private account. For stuff that can be local only, a series of local git repos.

If security is a concern, I trust a provider like GitHub or BitBucket to secure my data better than I trust myself to secure it, esp. if I also want to be able to access that data remotely.

Then there's the ability to easily convert projects between public and private. Publicize that private side project when it's ready, or privatize the open project that you want to take commercial.

There are a ton of integrations built in to GitHub (not just GitHub Pages) that to me make it a clear win for now with BitBucket a strong 2nd in my mind.
