git is a development tool; you use it during development but not deployment. pip is a deployment tool; during development you use it to install necessary libraries; during deployment your users use it to install your package with dependencies.

Use submodules when you need something from a remote repository in your development environment. For example, if said remote repository contains Makefile(s) or other non-python files that you need and that usually aren't installed with pip.
