That's really just a matter of opinion. Any posix/sh-based shells (sh, bash, ksh, etc.) are going to be about the same -- if you are familiar with one, you are going to be familiar with another. csh/tcsh are supposedly "easier" if you are a C programmer, but personally I find csh/tcsh to be more difficult to use.
