I'd say Judges would be the better choice, especially if you play PvP. Shepards is what I use 90% of the time, but I've four sets of armor for my monk and I use them all occasionally.
It depend if it is for PvE then Wanderers will do you fine I am still not sure of all the faction armour.Maybe shepherd if that is what you want.Don't forget about tats on hands and feet.

I've tried all the monk armors except for the all tat armor. I prefer the Judge's w/tat hands and feet. With the buff to the various melee damages lately though I'm starting to wonder. lol I won't change it, but still. The point is, take what armor works best for you and your play style.
