I'm not a big fonts person, but when I found Bitsteam Vera Sans Mono I knew I loved it:

It just looks fantastic to me — I simply don't get the attraction to fonts which look like they came directly from a 1970's typewriter! :)

(good anti-aliasing on OSX helps too...)

If you're on OS X and like Vera, you might take a look a Panic Sans, included in the app bundle of Coda. It's a tweaked version Vera Sans Mono. I can't put my finger on what they tweaked, but it's been my preference for some time now.

I like your syntax coloring, what editor/color scheme?

Most likely Textmate with the railscasts theme (http://railscasts.com/about).
