I would like to start a colony of LARGE roaches for my monitor,I was considering hissers.What is a good big roach that would sustain two monitors?

I'd go for B. discoidalis or either Eublaberus (discoids or orange heads or six spots)

B. discoidalis, E. posticus, or B. boliviensis. Boliviens seem a little bulkier than the other two, but I've only had my colony going for a year, so I don't know how well they'd do at cranking out large numbers for feeders.

Thanks for the advice,but i acquired about 7 hissers for the great price of free over the weekend.So i guess That's what i will be working with.

Hissers can get the mass which is good, but frankly I think you would get much faster production with one of the Blaberus species for a large feeder roach. Blaberus discoidalis and Blaberus atropos seem to reproduce the best.
