I don't know how it is in Windia, but here in Kradia, a 3-lined HTP costs about ten times as much as a MoN. And then you have to cube it. Probably need at least 9% dex on it before it can give you the same damage boost as a MoN.
So, I would say, if you're not rich, get a MoN first thing. Then keep an eye out for an opportunity to get a 3-lined HTP (either by buying in FM or by going on a run, once the glitch is resolved), because, as people above me have said, once you get it cubed to Unique and a good chunk of DEX, it will be better than the MoN. Not much point buying a 2-lined HTP and wasting cubes on it, because you'll eventually want 3 lines anyway.
