Default

I find syntax highlighting very useful, not only does it let you scan text much faster, it also lets easily detect simple errors (like a missing */).

I use Vim's default color scheme, it works well, although I do recommend enabled 256 colors, it offers just that extra little bit of extra contrast over the default 16 colors ... See:
