My experiences are with Trac. Alas, since we already use Bugzilla, we 
don't actually use the issue tracking at my own site. If you want to see 
a heavily used Trac installation, go to http://svn.mythtv.org

The managerial end of the team love the Timeline feature, as it lets 
them keep an eye on what is going on in the repository. I haven't told 
them about the RSS feed, or I'd never get any peace :-)

We also use the wiki as a source of documentation and download links for 
our internal toolset.

Trac also supports plugins for git, perforce, mercurial (on a branch), 
darcs, and bzr, should you want to move to another VCS.

(at the moment, bzr is appealing to me the most, particularly it's svn 
integration ; I use svk for offline work, at the moment, and I've tried 
git, but they both have a killer issue with svn interoperation - they 
mirror large revisions VERY slowly because they don't support the replay 
API. Bazaar at least has a branch to support replay ; svk has support 
but it doesn't work on Windows because of perl/apr thread issues, and I 
don't think the code for git even tries to use it).

Of the others, I only ever heard of jira.
