25" CRT Tube 4:3 TV would be my choice, I presume by shooters you mean light guns.

How much space do you have? What kind of video card are you using?  A CRT means deeper cab and a video card that can connect to the TV.  A monitor connects to the computer easier and means a thinner cab but you lose a little arcade authenticity.

For me, I would prefer a 4:3 flatscreen (19 - 20") or arcade monitor, space permitting.

Put them side by side and see what you think of the picture for the games that you like to play.  I am betting you will like the more authentic look of the 25" CRT.
