Depends what you want to monitor. I wouldn't use a lesser version of Cassandra for OpsCenter, it doesn't give you a ton you can't get elsewhere and it's not ever going to support OSS > 2.1, so you kind of limit yourself to a pretty old version of Cassandra for a non-good reason.
What else do you use for monitoring in your infra? I've used a mix of OSS tools (nagios, statsd, graphite, ELK), and hosted solutions. The nice part about them is that you can monitor your whole stack in a single UI not just your database.
