If the monoblock has identical length feedhorns, then Astra now is probably the better bet for prime LNB, as Hotbird is generally stronger, but either will do.

I'm not actually running a monoblock but I am running single LNB's on a Raven 70cm dish pointing at those 2 satellites (plus a 3rd LNB pointing at 28.2E as well). I decided to put the prime focus on 19.2E as I was told it was weaker than the 13.0E and I'm getting good signals from both those satellites (see this post). As you're in the south of the UK then I would expect you to get more or less the same sort of results using a monoblock :)
