All I have in my bashrc are aliases and PS1.  The PS1 changes if I'm root, but I don't know if that would be useful for a default.  I also don't know for sure if this still needed for my setup =o)
I'd done it originally because I couldn't see any difference between regular and root terms, but it may have changed since busybox was updated.

A couple of my aliases might be useful for the general public, but I wouldn't say they're worth adding as defaults.
alias :q='clear; exit' # because I keep thinking I'm in Vim =o)
alias path='echo -e ${PATH//:/\\n}' # displays directories in $PATH on separate lines
alias ping='ping -c 4' # keeps you from needing to manually stop it
I haven't used ping in TC, so that might not work...might need a "sudo"

if you wanted to use ping without that option, how would you turn it off (other than setting 4 to a very large number or removing it from bashrc)

By using the full path, or using "busybox ping"

You can also bypass aliases by escaping them:  \ping
