For me it was a close finish between Fira Code and RedHat Mono. I mostly look out for

* no <= or === ligatures (i still like to see the separate characters)

* 'i' vs 'l' vs '1' (I now mostly prefer fonts where the lowercase 'l' has the righthand bend on the bottom)

* dotted zero vs slashed zero (i prefer the slashed zero, but dotted is fine as well)

The most shocking revelation that I took from this game is how many coding fonts think it's acceptable to neither slash nor dot their zeroes.

I can't imagine using one of those fonts that leaves 0 and O nearly indistinguishable.
