I'd prefer just letting the web browser use its default monospaced font. 
Which for Firefox on Windows is Courier New 10 (size 13 in the Mozilla 
system), and that's also what I use for coding.  IE uses the same font 
and size, I assume Chrome has a sensible default too.  I don't know 
about linux or mac.

Using the default font is an easy way to let people choose what font and 
size they prefer for best readability on their screen.  I really wish 
web sites wouldn't mess with the monospaced font, but most of them do. :(
