A lot of pros for Monk and it doesn't seem to have many cons (except not being beautiful majestic ogres) so that might be the most logical choice. I will probably at least try out monk and either war/sk to get a feel for which I would rather play.

Yeah, Monks are very powerful class in this era of EQ and have always been a fun class to play, but do you enjoy the role of pulling? That will be the expectation of you in nearly every group you join unless they already have a designated puller, so consider that into your decision.

If you dig the way Ogres look then I would make one. You're going to invest a lot of time into your character, and I wouldn't want to waste time on a character that I didn't think looked cool. Also, SKs along with Paladins, are by far the best tanks for pick-up/experience groups which is what it sounds like you are primarily going to be doing. Not Monks.
