Out of those I’d say Abergavenny would be the best option.
Still connected enough with quick road links and train line that links to Newport main line in about 35min if memory serves.
Also has had a lot of money spent on it in recent years meaning it’s a busy town with few empty shops.
Close enough to the Beacons/Wye valley/FoDI’ve always found Chepstow a bit odd.
I’ve good friends in Monmouth and visit fairly regularly. It pretty dog eared and many shops stand empty. I think the school owns loads of the building stock and don’t seem to have any interest in getting it let.
Crickhowell is beautiful and you can walk into the Beacons and Hay is relatively close but it’s a schlep to get anywhere else

I think the less romantic but more sensible intermediary step would be somewhere like Chepstow, Monmouth, Abergavenny, Crickhowell etc
