Thinking of getting a 10 GH/s or larger ASIC miner. Was thinking of the Monarch by Butterfly Labs, but heard they are sketchy. So, I would KNC and the other companies instead. Thanks in advance for the help.

None.  Unless you are willing to do a lot of self research and critical thinking you almost certainly will lose money.

Quickly available?
You have only one company who have devices in stock - BitFountain from China.
They have two products with 130nm chips (using more power than competitors):

• USB Erupter 0.336 GH/s - ~0.17 BTC/board, ~2.5W
• Block Erupter 10.7 GH/s - ~4 BTC/board, ~94W

Everyone else on the market isn't shipping anything from stock, they have long lists of preorders, which they will not send for next many months.

I've done some research on KnC.

The guys behind it have graduated from one of Swedens finest university; KTH Royal Institute of Technology.
Orsoc who is contracted for making the technology is actually a legit but small company which has excisted for quite some time in Sweden, although ran by the same people who run KnC which is a bit scetchy.

I actually have an october shipment (they've said latest 15th of october) of the mercury that is coming.
Could be interested in selling for the right price.

good ROI miners: hard to order fast enough
block erupter: everywher

You can try BFL  ::)

Thanks everyone. Guess I'll go for the Block Erupter for now, since it's the most available and quickest to get.
