What is your favorite monospace font for prose/code?

Related: Do any of you use non-monospace font for code?

My two cents: Ubuntu Mono is the only monospaced font I know that looks good for prose/code. I like to mix code and prose (in web and in Emacs org mode), and I prefer using the same font.

I like SF Mono on Mac and its close cousin Roboto Mono elsewhere. Also like Inconsolata a lot.
