I wouldn't go for the Monosports if you're after a good ride over rough pavement. I don't think they're bad, but that doesn't seem to be what they were focusing on when they were designed. The set I rode on had room for improvement in terms of ride but I don't know how they were set.
I really liked the "old" Ohlins...we ran them on our own shop car for a while. I'll admit I have not tried the newer soft version but the spring rates are a disappointing especially with the limited bump travel they have. Yes you can get a car to handle well with soft springs, but those are reeeally soft. For a car on low grip tires they might make sense but if you've switched to even a decent summer tire, I would not prefer rates that soft.
I would also consider Bilstein PSS10 if you're set on coilovers. Bilstein B6 + a good spring with a mild drop might be the easy ticket as well. I'm not sure what kind of springs you can get over there.
