Using BusyBox instead of Bash plus a bunch of other tools gives us a much more feature-full, yet smaller initrd. In particular, BusyBox contains networking commands such as ip and a DHCP client, useful for NFS boots. It's also much more convenient for rescue situations because the shell has builtin readline support and there are many more tools (including vi).
