My understanding of Mono is that it only supports a subset of the iOS functionality, so check to make sure what you want to use is made available.
Native iOS is considered the way to go if you want to be taken seriously by iPhone and iPad users but it depends a bit on your app and your target audience. And a web based solution is definitely much easier! (Consider android, windows mobile, tablets etc and you have a LOT of different OS's to support...)
