Since you'll be lacking a real tank character for the most part (Monks only really get good as tanks later on, IMO) I'd maybe go with the Human Lord. If you're going to level 50 with no class changes then the problems of taking hybrids shouldn't be so pronounced after around level 25 so I'd go with the Lord over a Fighter.
I find Fighters, and Rogues, get really boring after about level 20 since they've usually maxed out the few attributes that are useful to them and once you hace the best weapons they become a bit repetitive. At least the Lord can learn spells, and the potential 125 Dual Weapons skill is extremely nice.
