Depends a lot on the general setup. On my Mac, it's often a white(-ish) background, whereas on a shell-heavy Linux desktop I keep with a general dark look and feel.

But lately I surprisingly often turn to yellow on blue (TP-like), without syntax highlighting…

I switch to light on dark depending on ambient conditions, my study is really gloomy and I work at night, so a bright screen blinds me.

On OSX10.4 at least I use the accessibility switch for this - sadly the anti aliasing looks worse with a dark background.
