I gotta say,33" might be a bit much..
 i have a 29" monitor...and its almost too big..
99.9% of the games you will be playing were never meant to be played on anything that big..a 33" monitor is going to show alot of imperfection and give it an almost broken up look.
i dont think you will appreciate the look.the tighter dot pitch of a smaller monitor is definetly more appealing,more vivid and truer to the original intent of the game designer.
but thats just my opinion..
i was playing with my 29" monitor just today at lunch, and i wished i had gotten a cab with a slightly smaller monitor..

I personally would go with the CO2 rather than the Quad on a 27" cab. I saw a picture someone posted with a 27" cab and a Quad and the Quad looked too big for the cab. The CO2 has a couple of other advantages, too, and you can still play 4 players with well-chosen button placements.

Also, you might check Retroblast for a review of a monitor he likes better than the WG9200.

Please post back on what you decide and your experiences with the SS cab.

RayB:
When deciding on monitor size, also consider that games were designed so you could "take in" all of the screen and react accordingly. If your screen is so large that you find yourself actually turning your head to look at various parts of the screen, then your game playing will suffer because you won't be reacting to stuff the way you would if you could see it all.
