m0n0 1.22 is based on FreeBSD 4.11
m0n0 1.3 is based on FreeBSD 6

FreeBSD 4.11 has excellent ethernet throughput
FreeBSD 6 has had a lot of work done on supporting SMP (which is multiple CPUs).

Your best performance on small, embedded machines is probably going to
come from m0n0 1.22 ; if you have a large machine with multiple CPUs
then m0n0 1.3 will eventually give better throughput.
