I'll be doing Eyes of the Ten probably in a few weeks but am unsure of what class to take next. Zen Archer 9 is uninteresting. Fighter 4 is another feat but I'm not hurting for feats. Divine caster could offer some options but I worship Irori and few spells could be worth casting in combat over just shooting the enemy.
Please help me decide.

Inquisitor. Divine Favor works great with fate's favored, judgement is nice, you get wis+dex to initiative at 2nd level, some sense motive bonuses, and most importantly bane (although it's gonna be a while). You lose out on BAB, but Divine Favor and judgement kinda fixes that problem. You already have a pearl of power that's useless for monks anyways. Could also get travel domain to pump your movespeed even further up, or luck domain for skill checks out of combat. Even tactics domain is good, as it lets 1 ally roll initiative twice and take the better roll a bunch of times per day at your level. And initiative wins encounters.
Otherwise take ninja, they share ki pool. I do feel that improved crits was a waste of a feat, though. Bracers of Falcon's aim is a straight up grade to lesser bracers of archery and cheaper as well, as it gives the same +1 competence bonus to hit, but also makes the bow crit range to 19-20x3

The Perl of Power is to loan to casters. Hopefully a Wizard who will cast Mage Armor on me. Tactics is cool. I count as an ally. The Improved Crit was because I often get 7 attacks a round including Ki Strike and Haste and do about 55 dmg per crit. Bracers of Falcon's Aim are banned in PFS.
Edit: Tactics is a subdomain of War. I worship Irori so could only choose the domains or subdomains of Healing, Knowledge, Law, Rune, or Strength.

I would take Zen archer 9 to get:
"Reflexive Shot (Ex): At 9th level, a zen archer can make attacks of opportunity with arrows from his bow. The monk still threatens squares he could reach with unarmed strikes, and can still only make one attack of opportunity per round (unless he has Combat Reflexes). This ability replaces improved evasion."
That looks pretty sweet to me. Also speed goes up by 10. And flurry BaB if not normal, but in flurry that will make deadly aim-4 +8 that is 2 more damage pr arrow that is worth counting.
It will also raise the caster level for barkskin to give +4 instead of the +3 you enjoy atm, exept it seems you did that with magic knack already( you May get table variation on that but if not then disregard)
All in all i think reflexive shot and +1 flurry bab combined with the fact that you wont get in a situation where there is a better option than shooting is the big seller.
