I think it comes down to pixels per inch, the higher the number the better serif faces look. Courier New that takes me back to typewriters and using Pica to get a few more characters on the page.
If I'm writing then I think I prefer a sans serf font because it works on a wider range of screens. Apparently I read somewhere that teenagers can now read san serif fonts as quickly as serif ones which is sort of interesting as you read by the shape of a word and the serifs help older people especially recognise the shape of the word.
The other consideration is it ought to be a font that is available on many different devices and that is more difficult. At least we don't have to pay for size of type in a typeface these days.
