Can you recommend some good fonts for data tables in PDF/print?

There are some good lists online of free fonts with tabular and lining figures, but they seem more web-oriented. This is for a 20-page PDF with somewhat varied layouts on each page, but all tabular and 80% numeric. Interested in both free and paid fonts. Thanks!

On the paid font side, you can't go wrong with a font from Hoefler & Co. Here is a page showing all their fonts with tabular lining figures (there are a lot of them). I myself have been using Whitney Numeric for tables in my magazine.
