Truth is, you'll be Monk and then Champ in a flash...leveling is pretty easy in Renewal. Check iRO wiki for both Monk and Sura builds so you can see how you make the transition from one to the other. Personally, I used Combo Build as Monk/Champ, then Skyblow build as Sura and then resetted skills and stats for Flash Combo-Tiger Cannon-Gates of Hell
(Keep in mind that the wiki has outdated data, those stat builds were from when we had 150/50 cap)
Ok..as Monk, you'll find yourself lacking skill points for skills you want, but as Champion you'll have a surplus of points to allocate into Aco skills because the single one Champion skill that is worthy is ZEN (Maybe Raging Palm Strike too for PvP/WoE)
Suras tend to do several skill resets through their leveling so don't freak out. Also keep in mind that the builds require heavy investment in skill points.
To give you some ideas, this was my Monk build:

Then as Champ, my build became like this:

If you feel like trying WoE TE or plan to do some PvP WoE as Sura, I'd suggest you leave Spiritual Cadence at prereq level for Snap so you can get Decrease AGI from your Acolyte skill tree.
Hope this helps
