Given that ksh93 is likely to be more compatible with Solaris shell
scripts written for /bin/sh, I would be inclined to pick it. If I had
a choice, I wouldn't allow scripts to use /bin/sh at all, since it
doesn't really indicate *which* shell the script was really written
for thanks to the horrible assumption that /bin/sh is bash on
GNU/Linux distributions.
