My current assignment has me on Solaris 8 but I suspect that with most UNIX variants by the time your system reaches run-level 3, the /usr file system has been mounted which is where /usr/bin/ksh would be located. With Solaris, there is actually a /bin/sh on the / file system which is used until overlayed by the aforementioned mount.

So, up to that point in the boot process, it is a question of function. Afterwards, it is a question of preference and style using any available shell.
