In print, Franklin Gothic or the old classic Helvetica, purely because there's so many weights of it. Cannot stand Times - I was trained as a typesetter 20-odd years ago and saw it day-in, day-out and ended up hating it. Drove me up the wall in the early days of the web as Times was used a hell of a lot - personally I think it looks particularly grotty on-screen and not anti-aliased.
On the web, Verdana or Tahoma can't be beaten, especially for body copy. Georgia is a nice serif font for web use - unusual to see a web font with old-skool non-lining figures. We're starting to use more custom fonts on our sites at work nowadays - they can be bought quite cheaply, especially in the context of the overall price for the site.
