If you ever decide to get a monthly, try using a friend's referral link (or mine 😉) because that friend that referred you will get $8 into his/her humble account. I even think there are still some steamtrades that offer games for using their referral code. Just helpful tip maybe :)
Overall I'll suggest only subscribe to a monthly if you want the early reveal. The hidden games can be a hit or miss...sometimes amazing and other times a bunch of alright indies (depending on your taste of course)

I was also thinking of that--getting it for reveal games. But the thing is, since it doesn't have regional pricing, it will probably be expensive for me if I'm not interested in the unrevealed games. And I'll definitely keep that referral link thing in mind. Thanks =)

Hard to choose just one, so here's some of my highlights
Favourites: August 2018 for A Hat in Time and Escapists 2 alone, March 2019, May 2019 had 4 wishlisted
Least favourite is probably March 2016
(Totally didn't mean to have opposite answers to you, made me laugh when I looked through all the past monthlies and realised I had. :P)

I'm with you on the early reveal, but I felt the opposite about the June 2019 late reveals: I wanted them all except Paratopic.
I guess you weren't alone though about that month's late reveals, otherwise it would have not been possible for me to get them all through SG and by other means in the weeks that followed.

August 2016 and June 2019 were the worst Monthlies for me too. Now I realize that December 2017 should make it into the top 3 as well.

Favorite is easily February 2017. Xcom 2 for a great price. Steamworld Heist(ended up liking that game even more then X2),Abzu was cool,Ohklos looked interesting,Ryse Son of Rome was a bit better then expected. I would have redeemed Project Highrise and Husk too but decided to trade one and give the other away.
Least favorite would have to be November 2018. Way too many games I already owned or had no interest in.

The best for me was January 2019, as I got three games from my wishlist (Observer, Sundered and Darkside Detective) plus quite nice Wizard of Legend.
Worst June 2019 with Call of Duty Black Ops 3, but I paused for that month :P

My favorite is February 2018 which included CIV VI, life is strange, owlboy and some other cool indie games,
(This is the only one I purchased btw)

Probably this most recent one. Hellblade, Moonlighter, Road Redemption, and Mechanicus is a pretty good haul.
The upcoming one is looking pretty solid so far as well. The Januaury 2018 was excellent, as far as game selection, but the pre-bundled status of Tomb Raider and Sleeping Dogs really drug down the cost-benefit.

I've not really got around to playing the games I got in it, but the most recent one had so a bunch of games I really wanted, so if it's not at the top, it's darn near. April 2019 was also great
Las month's was pretty weak, I felt, and one I glad I skipped. August 2016 was also quite bad. And a special mention should go out to June 2018 for having had its "main" game, the big draw of the bundle, being given out for free shortly after the bundle.
edit The very first Humble Monthly was also quite lackluster

There's a few great bundles. Just this past one was great for me. I loved September 2018, Sniper Elite 4, Tales of Berseria, Little Nightmares etc.
While I agree there was a few lackluster bundles recently, I think some of the early monthlies were much worse. June 2016, August 2016 and January 2016 would be the worst imo

Off the top of my head... I liked the Xcom 2 bundle and the Dawn of War III / Long Dark / Quantum Break bundle. I wasn't a big fan of February 2019 or October 2018

There's not really a definitive best / worst bundle since everyone has different tastes. That said, what are your favorite & least favorite Humble Monthly bundles?
Favorite
March 2016
Mainly because of ARK, which is now my most played Steam game by a long shot. Wasteland 2 was good too.
Least Favorite
May 2019
Granted I didn't go through every single monthly to find my worst one, but this one came to mind. Luckily I skipped, which does not often happen for bad bundles ;) Only thing I wanted was Finding Paradise, which I was able to trade for.
and a little sumpin' sumpin' for yall lvl2's.
