My favorite font by far is Monaco because it's very readable at small sizes. Dejavu Sans Monoand Bitstream Vera Sans Mono are practically identical and both are good coding fonts, but they don't do well below 10pt. On Windows (XP) I don't think that any programming font is as crisp and readable as Courier although I hate how similar its parentheses and braces look.
