Get the video one, very handy to check it from my bed to see if lil man is covered up, sideways, upside-down, etc.
He will also talk a little in his sleep sometimes, without the video monitor, we would have gone in and probably woke him up trying to put him back to sleep.

Honestly, check out the apps in the apple store. They have some cool monitors and you always have access to it on your phone ..

Number one reason to get a video monitor, especially for new parents, is to learn what your baby does when he's asleep and when he's awake (which can change from month to month when they're infants). Babies make noises in their sleep, and not all of them cry when they're awake, especially when they get older and aren't necessarily waking just to eat. And some of them learn how to climb out of the crib before they even learn to walk.
And sometimes you just want to look at them while they sleep.
Another handy feature, which I'm sure I'll get shite for, is that you can turn off the sound and still be able to see them. It's useful to me when I'm trying to get some work done and need to focus during a nap time -- I don't need to hear the constant ticking of the swing or the sound machine that comes through the speakers at a higher, more annoying frequency. I can just silence it and set it next to me on the desk, and if a sound outside of those constant noises occurs, you get alerted with a vibration on some models, and on others there are very clear light indicators.
EDIT: One thing I'll add -- There are "full color" monitors and simple black and white ones. Don't feel like you need to spend any extra money on the color video, because when the room is dark and the camera is using night vision, everything is in black and white anyway.
