(Note: It's not yet clear whether I'll be developing in the main Haiku tree at all. I'm writing the following as if I am.) This depends a lot on what "now" means. If everything will be switched over to $newvcs by the time coding starts I'm in favor of switching now; if it means "sometime within the next 3 months" I would be somewhat less in favor - having to deal with switching VCSs in the middle of the project would be a hassle. (That said, I think svn sucks enough that I'd still not be too annoyed if we switched to hg halfway through.)
