I've never tried anything other than the ol' reliable bash (with fancy bash prompt to make it look pretty), because none of the alternatives ever really appealed to me.

Bash is the default everywhere on the Linux world.There is nothing that I couldn't do in bash that made me change the shell, so I keep the "default"

I also use bash for this reason. However, I do find bash programming to be quite obtuse. If I was scripting for myself I would use another shell but I usually script for fleets of servers, so since bash is ubiquitous I just use it and jump to Python for anything conplex
