Depends: for crossplatform "production" environments Arial is the winner for me, too - it just works and has a neutral aesthetics. For construction documentation I prefer to combine it with Arial Narrow, which is still easily readable but has a much higher information density due to its compact width.
For presentations, publications: whatever you prefer / brandbook says.
Good looking custom fonts are generally hard to manage and mean an unnecessary headache in my opinion. Think about templates, font conversion tables, missing fonts, or first of all, font licensing.
