There are quite a few unique monospace fonts to choose from that fit these requirements. Personally, I'd go with the classic OCR-A or OCR-B, as these typefaces are designed for each individual character to be optically recognizable by both computers and people:



Note: OCR stands for "Optical Character Recognition", a good choice to use a font that is built for this type of application.

Here's another resource if this typeface doesn't work for you:
