I pump up Dex and Spd, then after they max out, Str and Sen.
For skills, I pump up Martial Arts, Stealth & Crit. Strike. Everything else depends on what you want to do with him. Snake Speed and Relfection are handy for Monks.
If you're going to use the Z. Bo, you need Wand & Staff (the Z. Bo is extended, though, which is cool). If you're not going to use the Z. Bo, polearm is also good. Then I do spells.
The Monk is not a throwing whiz like the Ninja, so I let him take a shot at it early on, but I develop his magic.
Then you can let him use spells for ranged and all you have to deal with is melee.
If I take RFS-81 and Vi (which I don't anymore) I like to use them on the flanks.
I always give Ankhs of Strength to my Monk, too, which helps with the damage dealing.
