It depends upon your intention. I like ITC New Baskerville, but it's not a very accurate reproduction of Baskerville's work, because the x height is greater. I've seen the ITC version used in many works, particularly scientific and theology. I think it's quite effective. But if you want something that's historically accurate, I'd look elsewhere. One rather nice version is Berthold's Baskerville Book, but I'm sure there are others.
