OK - I think I know the answer, but can someone tell me - what is the
difference between mono canvas and aida?

Jeepers, except that you stitch on both, they're very different. Mono
canvas is stiff and not usually used for xs. It's a plain weave, so
no little boxes, and it comes in more limited counts and colors. BUt
there are lots of fabulous charts for it, and since the hole are big,
it's easy to work on. Check out Laura Perin's patterns on NN, for
beautiful examples. Also Northern Pine Designs, Jean Hilton, and many
others.
I suspect www.zweigart.com will have pic and particulars.

The holes for needlepoint on mono canvas are not always big. Sometimes for
petit point they're very tiny, e.g. 18 to the inch.

But I consider 18 ct. to be big. Should have put a caveat with that
I guess. I've done petit point on Belfast (32 ct) and silk gauze (40
ct)., so everything's relative.
