Advice Please

To cut a long story short; some little **** set fire to my shed recently. Unfortunately my 750SS was parked next to it and was completely barbequed too
Thinking of getting a Monster this time (loved the 750SS and she was a real head-turner so sticking with Ducati).
But I'm undecided about which Monster to get: S4, 1000 or 800 (or 900/750 but want something quite new). There seem to be a lot of S4s about and they look tasty. How reliable are they and how much are they to service compared to, say, the 750/800? Also, how does the dry clutch 1000 compare to the wet clutch 800? Again, any reliability issues or higher servicing costs?
I love the air cooled bikes for looks/simplicity but you seem to get a lot of bike for your money with a used S4.
All comments welcome while I go mad trying to decide
Thanks,
Ian
