Consolas. I have tried Vera Sans Mono and Source Sans, but nothing comes close to Consolas.

I used Hermit (https://pcaro.es/p/hermit/) for a while when it first appeared, but now I use Source code pro from adobe (http://store1.adobe.com/cfusion/store/html/index.cfm?event=d...)

Otherwise I think it was Monaco way before those.

Cousine is currently my favourite ... quite readable in large and small sizes.
