I think if you are going for "least fancy, clearest, and most readable" then Arial - Times New Roman - Courier (in order of fanciness) are going to be your winners. The basic fonts are boring, but they are extremely readable. They are not distracting. They are utilitarian which I believe they were designed to be.

Utilitarian is right. This guy was and is a designer for the fonts we use today. In the Ted talk I linked, he talks about desgning fonts being an engineering thing. It's pretty cool seeing the challenges that lead up to something we take for granted.
