I think that there was a study that resulted in the suggestion that Verdana was the font most easily read.
For me, it's usually Arial, or Verdana.

Arial is kinda the pc equivalent of Helvetica so, I think the correct list in Dreamweaver is Arial, Helvetica, Sans Serif, Verdana.
Anything is better than Times New Roman

Remember that any font you use has to be installed on the users PC so always use common ones.

tahoma was recommended to us as a clean easy to read font, we needed it for accessability reasons.
Verdana is good too, characters are slighlty wider, i find it harder to read than tahoma personally.

Just make sure it looks good in the second choice as well, so you could have Tahoma, Verdana, Arial and the users system would select them in that order.
