As a linux/Unix shell i like bash - it's posix enough that you can write posix-ish scripts (might have to run on ksh/bsds) - and these days it has good completion and other niceties. And unless you make an effort, it doesn't colorize everything to the point that it looks like your user land threw up on your terminal. Other worth looking at IMNHO ibnclude rc from plan9, fish and oilsh. And maybe dash for a small runtime for scripts.
