One plus for BASH is it has the
advanced bash scripting guide, regularly updated and full of intros and examples and cheat sheets.
Recent versions of bash have some really useful extra features, like full-blown regular expressions. But ksh has some things bash doesn't, like floating-point numbers.
I tend to find bash preinstalled a lot more often than I see ksh preinstalled.
