I'm slightly biased against Monks, I find way too much competes with their Bonus Action and too many of their abilities require Ki. Couple that with the spells that need a bonus action and while you'll be incredibly versatile, how much will you actually get done?

Ki also fuels Stunning Strike, which is absolutely stellar, but that again detracts from all their Bonus Action abilities. But now we're turning the topic into a Monk discussion. That doesn't help you. I still say Rogue, though, because as a Cleric you'd have Spiritual Weapon. Compare that to the standard bonus action Monk attack. That also means you can go range with the character. This opens up synergy with Sharpshooter now, if you were so inclined.
