mono versus stereo ampflication

If one has for example 8K to spend on ss amplification for a two channel system, would one in general be better off using a stereo amplifier of perhaps dual mono design or using a set of monoblocks. If the answer is "it depends" what then are the likely trade-offs of each option and on what does it depend?
Do you have any recommendations of specific products for either option for 92db, 8 to 4 ohm speakers?
Thanks for the input. I did find some discussion of this issue on threads that are three years old but nothing recent.

What speakers and pre amp do you have in mind???
I would select monoblocks from the choices given so far;keep speaker cables shorter;maybe even use balanced cables if the option exists as longer runs from the pre amp would now be possible if you can not locate the pre amp close to the amps.
