Hey guys,
Curious if you guys know any useful ESXtop or RESxtop commands? - I'm looking to get comfortable with ESXi CLi and I'd like to start using the CLi to look at network and CPU utilization.

Yellow Bricks is awesome. I use it as a reference constantly.
I'm planning on taking my 5.5 exam this fall and going through the same motions. I've found the easiest way is just to get in it every day and look at your metrics in your environment. Get used to switching between Cpu / Mem / ect and adding / removing columns as well as exporting the data.
I'm already finding it very useful in the real world for finding issues on the spot. vROPS (i hate the interface with a passion) and our SAN reporting tool is great for trending and checking performance for a few hours / days but real time is more difficult. ESXtop is great for that.
