If you're gonna be a monk, iksar is the way to go. There's just no reason to go human unless, as you specified, kunark is so far away that it won't be available for a long time.
Still, i'd think rolling another class in the meantime until kunark comes out would be a better idea

Correct me if i'm wrong, but outside of the ac bonus, the regen, the infravision, the cool FD animation, but don't iksars have worse hand to hand ratio's on their fists?

so... pros v cons, i'd say iksar hands down. Give your ikky a fungi and a ton po's and you'll be sorted.
