I use Hobo. It has curves which makes it easier to cut and looks nice when cut.

I forgot to add Hobo works best when making nameplates, etc .(see attached)  If you use it where you would use a stencil font you need to modify it.

When cutting stand-alone text I like to use fonts with rounded corners - small errors are not so observable. Take a look at a big  Ariel Rounded MT Bold (80 point or bigger)
