Currently using GNOME Terminal because it works fine for me; not as much
because I prefer it above all others.  While using KDE, I've happily
used Konsole.

rxvt and rxvt-unicode have served me well also.  Though, xterm or
rxvt-unicode would be more serviceable now for Unicode support.

It just works. :-)

Dark background, light text.  Usually light gray on black.  I'm
currently using the Rxvt color scheme for GNOME Terminal.  Was
previously using Tango but found to be too... subdued.  The Rxvt color
scheme has a crisp appearance to me.  Linux console would be my second
choice of color scheme.  I've used a similar color schema when using
Konsole as well.

Also, I've gone back to a solid background, no transparency.  While
transparency looks neat, eventually I find it not as good for
readability.

Tabs are a feature for which I've never found much use in a terminal.
However, I am a religious user of GNU screen.
