   1)is [gdb stub] needed by [pmon of mips]?

No.

   2)which protocol is better?
     a)pmon mips remote debugging protocol
     b)native gdb remote debugging protocol

GDB's native protocol, of course. :-) But seriously, the mips protocol
is less efficient, requiring more line traffic, and it's binary, which
makes debugging harder.  It's also a little more complicated, which
likely means more target-side code to write.

All in all, I would recommend the use of GDB's own protocol, unless
you have some other reason to use PMON in your target.
