I like Consolas. It's monospaced and designed for programming.

Consolas is optimized for ClearType, which makes fonts clearer by not only using subpixel antialiasing but by also fitting them to the pixel grid.

If only I had ClearType on OSX, I wouldn't have to look at fuzzy text all day ( see this screenshot http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2007/06/font-rendering-resp... )

Both Inconsolata and Consolas seem to look nice on Ubuntus default rendering (though Consolas only seems to look okay on a dark background).

I personally use Inconsolata.
