So I'm about to rewatch Bakemonogatari with some friends over the next few days, with the intention of getting through the first season before we go and see the three Kizu movies in the theatre this weekend. Since it's such a dialogue-heavy series, though, I'd prefer to watch it with the best subs possible, since I know the official Aniplex subtitles aren't the greatest.
The two big releases I'm seeing are CoalGirls and ANE; are there any Monogatari experts on hand who can tell me which is the better of the two?

Commie has the best subs you'll find for monogatari. Don't fall for the commie memes, they treat this series with the care it deserves.
Coalgirls has inconsistent subtitle quality as the majority of it comes from Aniplex. Go with ANE or Commie.

Why is "bakemono" written in katakana, I thought it was the japanese word for "monster"?

it's the transliteration of the kanji 化け物. it doesn't specifically mean "monster," if you're looking for a literal definition it's "thing that changes", a shapeshifter

It really doesn't matter.

Coalgirls. They basically take every sub and then mix it with their own while correcting mistakes and whatever.

ANE is the best for Bake though
