Arial, and if there isn't a lot of content and you need to fill a page quickly, Verdana. Just please stay away from Times New Roman. Every time I see a page with the Times New Roman font it makes me think back to 1996 when it was about the only font there was for this stuff.

Verdana is IMO the best looking, most readable font for web text.

Verdana, very easy to read, and gives me somewhat of a professional feeling.

Verdana or Arial - both are very clean and easy to read. I really loathe seeing Times New Roman, but I type and store my documents on my computer in that font because it is somehow more compact then when I convert it to say Arial.

Tahoma is nice too (if this is how it spells...)

I try to stick with Arial for everything, but that can get boring sometimes.

Go with something that flows with the site.
