Presumably you have a fair amount of math to typeset. This limits your options considerably. Are you willing to pay for fonts? Then look at the offerings of MicroPress and YandY. If not, your choices are limited to Computer Modern, Times (txfonts) and Palatino (mathpazo, pxfonts). Times is more popular than Palatino for works with math, but the latter has a more relaxed appearance that you might find appealing. The free fonts are available from CTAN.
