trade gothic and sabon were the pair of choice at my last job at Allstream (telecom)
they used that pair on most of their print material for years..

Gotham / Mercury (don't have Mercury, but she's a beaut)

TheSans / Garamond Premier Pro
Helvetica Neue / Bembo
Helvetica Neue / Bodoni (only use Bodoni Book for paragraphs, Bauer for headlines)
Franklin Gothic / Baskerville
Univers / Baskerville
Scala Sans / Fedra Serif B

Gotham also pairs well w/ Benton, Baskerville and any Scotch Roman out there (Miller, etc.)
Print mag uses Gotham Rounded to nice effect w/ Mercury.

(Oct 29 07, 15:59)On DIN: Germany circa 1999 called, they want all of their old license plates back.
Maybe i'm just jaded b/c DIN was the font of choice at my last job (in-house drudgery). It has little to offer in terms of extra glyphs, and the built-in kerning sucks.
Baskerville was just fine to begin with. Mrs. Eaves is not necessarily bad in its construction, it's just impractical for text settings as it has an awfully short x-height.
IMHO.
