I think if you're really new to the Unix world, it makes sense to stick with the default shell unless you have a pressing need for something that bash or some other shell provides and the shell you are using now does not. Learn Bourne (and/or POSIX) shell scripting. Once you get to the point where the differences in shells is meaningful to you, you'll already be armed with enough shell (and Unix) knowledge to make the best choice for you.
For what it's worth, I've never had a reason to use anything other than OpenBSD's ksh.
EDIT: Would you mind sharing the link to the ksh videos? I'm sure others would find that useful.
