Given that you have no control over what the end user actually sees,
just go with whatever you think looks best, but also make sure your
project works if the user enlarges or reduces those fonts. Using CSS or
HTML you can only "suggest" a size for the browser to default to. It
takes one click for a user to override your font size with their own
preference (and many do these days).

Anyway - as for styles (typefaces or fonts is what you mean I assume!).
You have more choice than that! Dont use Courier on a web site, looks
horrible. Tahoma and Arial are good professional fonts. We tend to lean
towards a more friendly font like Georgia (Which is also available on
*most* computers these days). You can play with Times Roman in CSS to
make it a lot more readable on a web page, but I never use it in its raw
state.
