We had originally used MS Sans Serif for a project converted from DOS FoxPro around 2000. Three years ago when we updated the 300 screens to allow resizing we found that font would not scale worth a darn. We converted everything to Arial and are very happy with it. It works well in all sizes, is very standard and just plain looks good.
