MLModern [0] is a thicker version of Donald Knuth's Computer Modern and the Latin Modern project, in case you are interested.

+1 for Minion Pro, Minion Math, and PragmataPro. Those fonts have been my preferred defaults for years now. While they are expensive, it is worth it to write in a beautiful font and to compensate the artistic work that went into making them.

Does MinionMath cover all ligature? My reason for mostly sticking with Latin Modern Math is because I don't have to worry about random characters being unprintable.

MinionMath only covers the Unicode Math part. It doesn't cover everything but it's definitely extensive ( 3300 symbols ! ): http://www.typoma.com/data/MinionMath_Release_1_026.pdf
MinionPro / Minion 3 is Adobe's flagship font so it basically support every language and ligature under the sun

Thanks.
For mono fonts there are a lot of nice choices but I used PragmataPro for no other reasons that I own it and it provided a nice readable contrast.
Otherwise for the free options, Palatino+mathpazo or StixTwoText + StixTwoMath are quite good options. Honestly anything but ComputerCM is a good option; it's imho not a very good font nowadays; it's way too thin. It was designed with the assumption that it will be printed on old, fairly bad, printers with significant ink overspill.
