I consider to use Mantis or Redmine to manage projects. (Issue Tracking)

I know both are really good.

For now, I won't connect it with SVN or Git. (It may happen later)

The main purpose is issue tracking on business with co-workers.

Please recommend one of them, or you can recommend the other one.

Thanks.

I can recommend redmine. I've been using it for more than 2 years, with 25-50 simultaneous users and more than 50 projects.

I went through a lot of updates without ever having any problems.

The database is properly normalized, so if you ever need to retrieve any data, you will be able to do so.

Numerous plugins exists which may cover special needs if there are any.

Edit: In the meantime, I had to change over to Jira, but I'd go back to redmine anytime if I could.
