I used to work at a brewpub that made its own beer battered fish. We used cod at first, then switched to halibut. We never used a dark beer in our batter simply because it did add a certain flavor to the batter that isn't necessarily pleasant. Usually we went with our pale ale. It worked very well.
And yes, there is another thread on this somewhere, but I think it was more about tempura.
