There was a thread last year:

http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/git/2007/6/14/249310

I don't follow the guilt development to be able to comment. They are
pretty similar regarding patch management but it's probably best to
try both and see which tool you like. StGIT might have a few more
features as it was around for longer (e-mail templates, patch
synchronisation between branches etc.) but guilt seems actively
developed as well.

I might be wrong here but I'm not sure whether guilt uses three-way
merging when pushing a patch or just a two-way diff apply. The
three-way merging has several advantages in dealing with conflicts.
