I think GMK is correct about DEX. I always concentrate on DEX and STR for my MONK (actually most of my Melee fighters). DEX does seem to be the most important atribute for a Monk.
Also, the Monks martial arts skill seems to raise much faster than other combat skills, probably because of all the extra attacks. My Monk/Ninja Duo are at level 12 and 11 now. The Monks martial arts skill is at 105 (after the 25% bonus). The Ninja is duel welding Nunchuka but only has a mace/flail and duel weapon skill in the mid 40's.
That being said, I do think a well developed fighter type with an elite weapon eventually is as good or better than the unarmeed Monk. But early to mid game the Monk is hard to beat.
