I think Bitstream Vera Sans Mono would be quite good.
Yes, especially since it has a full family of bold/italics and variable-width sans/serif variants. The DejaVu fonts are derived from Vera but have a condensed (less wide) version. Also both have very good unicode coverage, so unless someone finds a prettier alternative with the same technical qualities, I would say the choice is rather obvious.
I slightly prefer Monaco, which is shipped with OS X, but I don't know its license (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monaco_(typeface)).
I doubt you can redistribute it like that.

Yuck, looks like Courier and unknown license. For a single mono-space font, Inconsolata looks more like Monaco, is under OFL, and has a bit more glyphs (up arrow). -- Damien Pollet type less, do more [ | ] http://people.untyped.org/damien.pollet
