Personally, I like Hitmonchan better, but if you're playing Generation 3 and lower games, go for Hitmonlee.

Generally speaking, Hitmonlee is a sweeper with a base 120 Attack which is always nice, but the fallback: horrible defence and HP (but then again, all the Hitmon bros are all bad with HP). Hitmonlee is the faster of the two, but has the less diverse movepool. Both have great Special Defense though.

Hitmonchan on the other hand really wasn't great until the Generation 4 Physical Special Split, where before Fire, Ice, and Thunder Punch were Special, but now they're physical. The Hitmons have TERRIBLE Special Attack, so all Hitmonchan could do back then was Fighting and Rock moves. Now the punches are Physical based, giving Hitmonchan a great boost. Hitmonchan has below average Speed, but has some good bulk. Hitmonchan also has the ability Iron Fist which powers up Punching moves, giving Hitmonchan an even more boost.

So, Hitmonchan has a bit lower Attack than Hitmonlee (Base 105) but that's very workable. They both take Special Attacks very well, but Hitmonlee cannot take Physical Hits while Hitmonchan has decent Defence. I say Hitmonchan is better!

Hitmonlee is stronger when it comes to pure power; all of his moves are pretty high powered. He's also the faster of the Hitmons. Horrible defense, though.

Hitmonchan is decent with attacking, but his ability: Iron Fist makes him super. It boosts punching moves. Now his Mach Punch is upgraded, as with Ice, Fire, Thunder Punch, Sky Uppercut, etc. He is slower, but throw him a Choice Scarf and BOOM! You got yourself one great sweeper.

So, bottomline!!

Hitmonlee will be dealing massive damage but will not survive physical hits, and Hitmonchan can take some hits and deal out pretty nice damage too.

If you want more attack power hitmonlee is better, if you want more defense but still decent attack power then hitmonchan is better it depends on what kind of trainer you are.

If you want a good defense, choose Hitmonchan. If you want a great attack, choose Hitmonlee.

Hitmontop is the most balanced, Hitmonlee is the strongest in attack wise, Hitmonchan is the most defensive so either hitmontop or hitmonlee is a good choice.
