It's a bit vanilla but I like DejaVu Sans Mono 8pt in my terminal, which is where I edit scripts and things

Curiously, I don't think that looks quite as good at larger sizes, so I've been using Liberation Mono 9pt or 10pt elsewhere.

Both of those have distinct glyphs for the usual easily confused candidates. Can't be having my lowercase L's and 1s looking similar.
