I tried Verdana for a while-it's not monospaced, but fairly wide and very clean-looking-but it turns out that I prefer monospaced fonts better for reading code. Maybe just because I'm so used to them that non-monospaced fonts look weird in that context. Source Code Pro is appealing.

I use Monaco 12. Monospaced, differentiates zero / “O,” and “1” / lower-case “L” / upper-case “i,” has built-in bold style.
