I'm not sure how it works for US/Canada differences, but here's my input.
I've taken both Marvelon and Minestrin 1/20 which are low-dose monophasic pills. With Minestrin I did gain a bit of weight, but then I was really underweight to start with so I'm not sure if it was the pill. With both my skin cleared up from acne, and I had no other noticeable side effects.

I later went on Ortho 1/35 which caused my acne to come back and worsen. I think I may have been a bit moodier on it too. I'm now back on Marvelon to help my skin. My old doctor had me switching pills constantly to see if it helped my period, but the only thing that helped was taking them piggy-backed. I've had no problems doing this, no spotting, no cramping nothing.

Hope you find what works for you,
