Helvetica is sometimes very poorly rendered/smoothed by certain browsers, to the point that it will look noticeably worse than arial. I recommend you always keep arial as first choice in your font-family. I have to chime in a agree with @ash here.

As far as cross-browser readability goes, I think Arial's the better choice for body copy.
