Man, get yourself a Roland MC-808

Then get a inexpensive midi controller. You can get an 808 now for less than $800!!! This puppy has a good soundset (fully editable too) sampler (with slice/auto chop), 128 note poly. 16 track sequencer (built in). An MC-808 and inexpensive midi controller will run you $1,000

As far as monitors..., man there are quite a few nice affordable units out there like the behringer MS16's (they sell for under $60.00)
Here's some links:

http://www.zzounds.com/item--BEHMS16 Sure you can go software down the line, but that too can get costly!!! You're always gonna be wanting more softsynths, more RAM for the computer, blah, blah... If you want a good hardware set up you can't go wrong with the MC-808

The 808 will beat the Juno-G hands down for what you want to do (it's designed for it)
