First of all I really hope you enjoy your Wii as much as I have :) You're going to get a lot of love for Monster Hunter here - and rightly so! - so I'm going to stick up for Reflex first.
Obviously the graphics are not up to what the 360 version gave you, but the controls are more "natural" and it's an awful lot of fun. I haven't even touched the single player campaign (played one CoD, played them all IMO), but, of course, it's the online that gives it life. You'll find no shortage of people to play with, and I have just had an absolute blast. I had not played it for a few weeks because of MH3, but I am back playing it again this weekend.
For Monster Hunter: Do you like killing things many times larger than you with pointy things (or large blunt hammers)? How about trapping them? Does picking up mushrooms, mining for stone, and catching bugs, then putting them together to create potions, fishing lures and forge new weapons and armour appeal to you? If you answered yes to these, you're gonna love this game! It also has good online with up to four people, but it's offline is also of a high quality. It looks beautiful, it's challenging, and it's a collectors dream world.
Like I say, Monster Hunter is THE game on the Wii right now, and it's popular for a reason. I love both games, but if I could only keep one it would be Monster Hunter, but not by much. If you still find it hard to decide then check out some YouTube videos of both, but you won't go wrong with either choice.
