solid monk build

What would be the best way to display a 28 point build solid monk:).

It really depends on what you consider to be "solid".

If you want a solid dex/wis AC build, I would recommend a halfling starting with the following stats: 12 strength, 17 dexterity, 14 constitution, 8 intelligence, 15 wisdom, 8 charisma. A lot of people will probably gripe about the 12 strength, but you can get it to 20 fairly easily with a +2 tome and a +6 item.

For a strength build, I'd recommend a half-orc starting with the following stats: 18 strength, 15 dexterity, 14 constitution, 6 intelligence, 12 wisdom, 6 charisma. Again, people will probably gripe, but this time about the 15 dexterity. The thing is, you need 15 dexterity to pick up two-weapon fighting, and using a +2 tome to get yourself to 17 will allow you to pick up improved/greater TWF as well. For those of you who would say monks don't need two-weapon fighting: I've run a monk with it and one without it, and the lack of offhand attacks was very noticeable.

Anyway, that's my two cents. Hope it helps.
