It's a matter of taste, and is better illustrated with two examples, the one above, that easily shows what's being done, and the one below that shows the actual results. The "anti-aliasing" is done to 'smooth' the edges of the characters, to get rid of the 'jaggedness' caused by discrete, individual stepping of "all on" or "all off" pixels. At REALLY small font sizes, the non-anti-aliased will actually be more readable, but at any half-way decent resolution (giving enough pixels to work with), the anti-aliased will look much better.
(Okay, I give up. You'll have to click on the image to see it full-sized, as I can't remember now WHAT you have to do to get a stupid image to show up full-sized IN the post. Sigh.)
