I'd say go with a white text on a dark, colored background. Black on white is too hard to look at projected and white on black you lose your projection area (it looks like the wall)

also, try to keep your text in a fixed area so the viewers' eyes don't have to bounce around the screen everytime you advance in your presentation. Add animation where it calls for it, don't force it in there. gl.

working in AV for 5 years I suggest white with black text or text on a blue background... blue is the brightest color on LCD projectors and the recommend background by most professionals. It doesn't have to be completely plain- you can create a interesting yet basic background with shades of blue.
- Always use readable fonts at medium sizes
- Keep your info uncluttered... less is more
- animation is completely useless unless needed to make a particular point. Its not a new concept anymore and doesn't amuse anyone except it's creator
- Open up your presentation before you toggle over to the screen... no one needs or cares to see your desktop
- When you are finished with your last slide- if you are still standing there, answering questions- whatever- press the letter "B" key to blacken the screen. No one wants to see you in PowerPoint editing mode.
