I also am in the Arial Brigade. It is simple to read without straining my tired old eyes.

IMHO - In addition to the font selection - also ensure that the font size is also readable. Resumes with the font to small go quickly into the disregard pile. If you want to highlight or bring out points - use bullets, bold, or italics instead of switching to another font.

Verdana is my font of choice, but for a resume - I would stick with Arial.
