Thinking about making a monk or bard and was curious to hear the community's view of each based off the following questions: Chances of completing epic? Server saturation? Chances of getting into a raiding guild? Gearing difficulty? Farming ability?

Chances of completing epic? Monk is vastly easier but Bard isn't as hard as it used to be with the Undead Bard available now.
Server saturation? Both classes are fairly popular, but Monks are one of the most popular classes on the server. That being said, you probably won't have any issues getting groups as a Monk because they stack extremely well for single group content. Bards, as always, are desirable for pretty much any group and can even tank if you gear properly.
Chances of getting into a raiding guild? As Monk, you're going to have to bring some serious talent or high playtime in order to be desirable to endgame guilds. Bards have it easier here.
Gearing difficulty? Monk definitely harder to gear. Bards can level pretty much naked.
Farming ability? Tough call, Bards can sell PL services and farm in some areas where Monks would have trouble. Monks can get into areas where Bards would not be able to, and are much more durable with a more practical form of damage output. Bard is probably better farmer as there's always a market for a quality PL service.
