Yes, the MBox 2 Pro has SPDIF. Looks like the optional firewire card only works for Pro Tools HD, though.
Apogee has several options for cards to couple with the Rosetta series. The X-HD card is what you would use for connecting the unit to a PT-HD setup. The firewire card should work in most DAWs out there- but you shouldn't need to bother with that since your MBox has SPDIF. You're all set there. Keep in mind that if you side with the Rosetta, you'll need some way to control volume (like a Big Knob for example). Apogee also makes the Mini-DAC which has volume control on it.

As for monitors, what's your budget?

Best!
