general the serif fonts are supposed to be faster/easier to read than the sans-serif ones.
Times New Roman is perfectly fine, but I also like Garamond. I would suggest you don't go really fancy, you are not making friends among your readers if you get too fancy and it distracts from the content.
If it is a dissertation, use at least 12pt size, unless you only have youthful proofreaders and evaluators. With increasing age smaller print gets harder to read and I have overheard older teachers say that small print in something they have to correct can annoy them.

Arial is easier to read. Many books are published with arial font. I personally find it pleasing to the eye. "Artsy" fonts just tend to detract from the content.
