Been using bash and ksh, well since I started mucking about with Linux/Unix. When scripting, I call /bin/ksh which works on all of the Unix environments I work in (AIX, Solaris, Linux).

ksh because it works on every posix compliant Unix. I have run ksh scripts *without* modification on Solaris, HP-UX, AIX, Linux (many), Irix, etc.
