Discussions on Gerrit are arguably more useful with code since it often involves specifics. You can also annotate lines individually rather than just "please modify the method in this class" comments in bugzilla.
For non-code decisions (big designs, debates about approaches) then bugzilla may be more appropriate.
You can also have Gerrit send mail of changes (like bugzilla) and pick up new elements via Mylyn reviews (like bugzilla).
I see bugzilla less useful that Gerrit for almost every purpose, and if you give the Mylyn integration a go so may you.
Finally having details outside the git repo actually goes against the benefits of a DVCS in that you can be disconnected. ECF is a great example of how not to do this; every commit is just a pointer to a bug. That makes no sense when disconnected.
However it's conventional to have a Key: Value at the bottom of the commit message, such as
Bug: 12345
That way people have a link if needed, but the message should still be standalone in intent and detail.
