As you say, it's personal preference. Personally, I tend to increase the screen size and then increase the font size to compensate. You may find that your text is actually the same size, but less blocky: I find that easier to read.
Increasing the resolution of your text will almost allways make it more more readable. I fit about the same number of 80x25 terminals on my 1920x1440 21" crt (4-6 per page) as I used to on a 15" 1024x768 tube. assuming the same font size, at ~150dpi each character is composed of about 4x more pixels then it is at 72dpi which is the alleged norm for monitors. it's still about 1/8 the number of dots a reasonable laser printer will assemble the same character out of.
