Most research points to sans serif fonts working best for large bodies of text on most screens. So simply good old Arial or Verdana actually is a very safe choice (though a bit boring) choice which will cover the greatest audience.

That's just one aspect though. There has been a lot of research over the years which for some reason is often ignored.
