For a lot of uses, I think the DejaVu fonts are pretty good, and you 
have regular and condensed versions.

I'm not so fond of Liberation fonts Serif or Sans. You might check out 
Fontin and Fontin Sans, both available for free. They have a bit of a 
different look but are pleasing and easy to read (the most important 
criteria in my view).
