Bonerges asked:
So what do you think is sanctification totally monergistic or synergistic, or both?

In short, I believe that our salvation, including our sanctification is totally monergistic. One of my favorite quotes from Calvin's Institutes is as follows:

Quote
We are often bidden to purge ourselves of all filthiness, even though the Spirit claims for himself alone the office of sanctification. Institutes 2-5-11

Calvin goes on to say; "In fine, it is clear from John's words that what belongs to God is transfered by concession to us". We must only and always say that we are indebted to God for any "good works" performed by the believer. IMO, Calvin believed both our justification and our sanctification to be works of God alone.

I more than highly recommend the reading of the Institutes book 2, chapter 5, "Refutaion of the Objections Commonly Put Forward in Defense of Free Will".
