Several friends hated bash (Bourne Again Shell) so they used sh (Bourne Shell - but it is superseded). They started using korn shell and c-shell. Both Korn and c-shell have good and bad points. Korn is similar to bash but is more capable (but bash is more capable that sh anyway). C-shell was a choice of many K&R C programmers historically, but from what I can tell, shell programming is falling out of favor for 'newer' languages in general.
IMO, if the difference between the different shells starts to matter, you have probably crossed the line into something that really should be written in a different language :-)
