In the "Walkthrough" section, chapter "Creating your first LyX document"(http://wiki.lyx.org/Mac/Walkthrough). It's mentioned to increase on-screen readability for PDF previews compared to bit- mapped fonts, but I personally find that vector-based fonts (ae vs. default) have also a cleaner finish on a laser print out - that's why I wanted to use ae in the first place.

If you have CM Super installed, the default option will use vector- based fonts. On Mac, I use Gerben Wierda's installation of TeX Live (via i-Installer), which allows you to use Hoefler Text as your font by including in your preamble:

\usepackage{gtamachoefler}

(There are some options for it as well as packages for using other standard Mac fontns as well, which he has documented.) Or there's always XeTeX.
