I've got this running right now and I really like it. It is very visually appealing and I like how the UX is relatively straight forward, the fading menu is a nice touch. That said, I have only used top, htop and glances. As other people has said, it is a bit slower than the others, but that's to be expected. It's none-the-less impressive given that it is written entirely in bash. I'd also like to point out that the performance of bashtop is similar to glances. Maybe my laptop is slow, but I've always noticed some delay in glances's performance, similar to bashtop. Thanks for the list @hungariantoast, I'm going to look into a bunch of those.
Thanks for the list, I haven't heard nor tried out even half of them :-) On my laptop, I prefer one that includes lots of info, like battery. Performance is an issue, though. The performance...

The performance monitor shouldn't be a top (no pun intended) contender in its own list of the most resource hungry processes on your system.
Well yes, it's Bash. However, as far as I know, htop just monitors processes; this also monitors disk space, network usage, and CPU temperature, which is pretty cool.

Download it (one file) and run
./bashtop. Enjoy its features and good looks. Then let it sink in that this is all written in 3,500 lines of bash.I've got this running right now and I really like it.

I tested it for 10 minutes... seems kind of slow. It's nice, but a bit too 'graphical' for what it wants to do. I prefer
