My favorite for gvim/MacVim is molokai: http://winterdom.com/2008/08/molokaiforvim , seconded by vividchalk when i'm on the terminal: https://github.com/tpope/vim-vividchalk
Haven't found any good color scheme for iterm2 yet. Currently i'm using thayer: http://ecto-plazm.deviantart.com/gallery/

What's your terminal setup like?
I run tmux inside iTerm2.
I'll clean the theme up a little and make an isolated repository.
Looks decent in 8-color terminal as well.

I am sitting on a mostly-done vim version right now as well, the GUI colors are all good, but I wiped out the terminal colors (I want them to just be the defaults). I'm not exactly a vim expert and I almost always use the terminal vim exclusively for git commits, which don't really need highlighting, so the motivation to fix those sort of disappeared.

Will upload the vim one later after I finish it up.
This is supposed to be the version for Eclipse, but it seems that the colors are kind of different, which is a pity:
Molokai ain't perfect, but I have yet to find one I like more for daily use.
For iTerm2 I copied over the colors from Visor.app's theme.. but Solarized looks really nice, so maybe I'll soon be using that instead.
I actually tend to read (and write) comments a LOT. Which is why, I simply am not able to use any colorscheme that tries to hide comments.
If anyone is interested, the theme is here:

The .vim file started out as IR_black, I just hacked at the colors until I was satisfied, so the code's not clean or anything :)
[I also have a OS X terminal theme to go with it, and an emacs version.]

Make sure to enable 256 colors.
I am not sure how it handles terminal colors. So I just configured Console2 to use Solarized colors and then tried every colorscheme in Vim.
"morning" scheme worked best for me. It is so much easier to read my coworkers crammed code.
IR_Black for Textmate though
