What you're asking for is so widely variable, depending on what you
check in your environment, that I wouldn't even be able to begin to
guess.

Figure out how many checks (and more importantly, what kind) you will be
running, take a guess as to the bandwidth each check will use (a web
page monitor may pull down a full page, or just headers, etc.), then do
some math.
