Can't put my finger on it right this second, but I believe that IBM did research into this back in the terminal days and came up with white on dark blue.
However, I think it comes down to what works for you and the lighting in your work area. For example, if you have a really bright environment you might choose one color scheme, but if your environment is dark, you might chose a different one.
Personally, I try to keep outside light very low and then use green text on black background.
