Just 2 developers...is something like git always better or if there are only 2 people working on something is a central repository OK?

Gtihub would be your best bet. code.google.com also support git projects.

Regardless of team size, the best tool is the one your team members are productive with.

If you believe the HN hype the whole world runs on rails apps developed on GitHub. Reality is a little different

git, but if you come from svn and have no clue about git, run mercurial as it has a similar ui.
