Definitely monk in terms of ease. I'm a recluse with a ranger I soloed to 54. Fear kiting to mid 40's and bow-rotting past that. It was pretty painful past 45. I never had a fungi so melee solo (efficiency wise) was just not an option. I would expect even a budget monk would breeze past a ranger. With a Fungi and a decent staff in the mid 50's SolB is going to be cake. A ranger it's gonna be hit or miss.
The nice thing with a monk is being able to FD whenever you need and just regen over time. Nothing sees through it.
There are definitely angles to each class and why I feel they are both great. If "fun" means less frustrating failed solo attempts go monk. If "fun" means casting spells, making arrows and all that I'd go ranger.
