The Monroe's aren't designed to be rebuilt, while the original wet inserts are. The advantage of the wet inserts (aside from people laughing when you say you have Monroe's up front!!!), is that you can adjust every aspect of the shock, and they also have a larger capacity, and will work better (shocks work by converting force to heat, so bigger is better). I have a set of original wet inserts from a JDM AE92 Levin if you're interested?!

i totally agree 
it is a bit of a pain though completly stripping a strut inorder to modify its internals, espcially if you want to do it a few times.
either way, i used to do it all the time to motorbik forks, and standard struts really arent that different. heres a few pics of strut internal valving if youre interested:
