PA monitor cables - guitar leads or "proper" speaker leads?

If the monitors are powered then they need to be connected using screened signal cable. If there are jack sockets on the monitors you can use guitar leads. If there are XLR sockets it would be better to use those. What type of sockets are on the desk that the monitors connect to?

If the cable is just carrying signal from mixer out to powered monitor in, then a guitar or instrument cable is fine. If you are running a second (passive) monitor from the extension speaker output of a powered monitor, use a speaker cable.
