We are using Tahoma (size 8) for many years now and it does not look outdated yet, so we are very happy with that decision. It's very readable and does not look as common as Arial. Also it uses relatively little space, while some fonts may use more space and that can be a problem when you have to put longer words on a label and you don't like to resize the entire form. For that reason I would never use Verdana.
