It's a question with no good single answer. There are lots of decent
monospaced fonts suitable for terminal usage.
Some people like truetype(opentype) technology, so prefer postscript, many
still swear by bitmapped (especially at small sizes). It's a poll question I
asked on the DA.org web site ages ago, with some interesting discussion that
followed.

At the moment I use anonymous and the very similar Monaco most of the time.
They are a bit wider than other fonts of the same height, but I like their
appearance. Fonts are very personal.
