Don't go overboard on the min max or grind farming, you're playing for fun not a job.
Have fun, if your race/class/deity combo doesn't expediate that you can always roll a fresh toon. Don't be too frivolous with rerolls though; the game can be time consuming and if you want to participate in a wide level of format you will need some amount of persistence with a single toon.
Druid and monk are both great options, though honestly iksar has better synergy with monk than human (which means waiting until kunark release).
May I suggest you start with a druid, horde your wealth, pick up a wu's quivering staff from city of mist once Kunark opens and then try out an iksar monk using that weapon and a set of bristlesilk/curscale/padded armour.
That way you get to play both classes. Make sure to pick up some mesh armour from guk; reasonable AC, magic and low weight making it and excellent choice for both toons!
