If your camera has both HDMI and HDSDI outputs, I'd suggest going HD-SDI. The connector is solid and you can perform much longer runs with HD-SDI if needed. In my experience, the quality of the image will be the same in runs under 50' for both HD-SDI and HDMI.

Of course the HDMI monitors are less expensive if cost is a concern. However, being able to throw a right angle adapter BNC and have a solid connector that won't break in the field is a big concern for run n gun shooting.

Here's a picture of cool new coiled flexible HDMI cable called the Flexicord I bought and broke on first use.
