The monk can kill a Dragon with a single blow. It's called quivering palm. Also, they get absolute immunity to poison at a certain level AND an increased magic resistance at certain level(s). They get increased movement rates and their bare hands hit like magic weapons. Basically, THEY KICK BUTT!! As far as if they're better than fighters, that is a VERY difficult comparison. Fighters rely on equipment a LOT more than monks. Both are VERY good, but if you are relatively new, I suggest the fighter.
As far as proficiencies, I suggest sword and shield style for a MUCH better AC, OR two-weapon style for more attacks as well as the fact that with two diff. magic weapons, you could be more devastating (each weapon could have diff. magical abilities and/or do diff. types of damage). I prefer using two of the same type weapon (two katanas, two long swords, etc). But a lot of people like using a slashing or piercing weapon in 1 hand and a blunt weapon in the other. (although I can't figure out why a REAL character would do this)
