I don't think many people know that Monasca can be used with heat for autoscaling, so it's good that you know. :) That said, I think it's fairly safe to say that the most common of the two in production for autoscaling will be ceilometer, and that is the only one I've used in production. So, it's not to say that one is better than the other, but rather that Ceilometer is more commonly used. If it was me I would probably use Ceilometer unless I knew I also wanted to provide monitoring as a service to my end users and did not need to provide telemetry to them. Usually ceilometer is useful in other areas, such as billing, etc. Ceilometer and it's related systems have changed a lot recently for the better to separate out some components into other projects like panko and gnocchi and aodh. There are definitely retention and backend storage type and tuning that have to be considered.
