Droid Sans Mono like Monaco otherwise. Android, but has since found its way into many the editors of many programmers.
Developers around me mostly use font sizes from 12 to 14 pixels. Those are very small fonts for a people who stare at letters most of the day. Even for ones with perfect sight, which is a rare case in our profession, I would really suggest increasing font sizes.
Either Consolas (download) or Andale Mono (download). I mostly use Andale Mono. I wrote an article about programming fonts a long time ago, I think Consolas wasn't even out yet.

I find that typing Illegal1 = O0 is a good test of suitability.
I've really fallen in love with Droid Sans Mono.
I really really like DejaVu Sans Mono. It is very clean and easy on the eyes.
+1 for Monaco

Just beautiful and I find I can read it for hours on end.
I use Consolas for everything, including Notepad++, SQL Studio, Eclipse, etc. I wish there was a Mac version. Also, if you notice, the text area field on Stack Overflow uses Consolas, so we have some other fans out there as well :p
