Yes Monks are very good, at lower levels they tend to use weapons a bit better than their unarmed attacks, but Once you reach the Underdark, your monk should be a Melee machine.
My monk character has -9 AC, about 75% MR
Gauntlets of Crushing
Cloak of the Sewers (+1 ac bonus)
Ring + 2 (+2 ac bonus)
Ring of earth control (+1 ac bonus)
Ion stone (as helm) (+1 ac bonus)
Amulet of 10%MR
Boots of Avoidence
Girdle of Bluntness
A monk is great. I believe they can detect traps real well. If you are making up a party of your own 6 people, I would make sure your thief puts his skills into everything except detect traps, that way you can make the most out of your monk/thief combo.
Like I said, at lower levels before a monk starts to get real strong, I used weapons more than fist attacks, then after my attacks got stronger, I switched over. I also had my monk carrying and using all the summoning figurines in the game, his own little conjuring zoo.
