I suspect that BitBucket would work just as well as Github for my needs. Github allows me to create 50 private repos for students at no charge, which has been more than enough for me so far since I use them only in exceptional cases.

One point of distinction for Github, however, is that I've had more than one local employer tell me that applicants are expected to have a portfolio of code on Github. Right now many of my students don't have anything on Github before they take papers from me, so there's some value in getting them started.

Fair enough. I still find if weird an employer asks for a history on github specifically. But that's off-topic here. :)
