Personally, I would consider Depailler a much stronger driver than Beltoise or Panis. Jarno Trulli, Sergio Perez or Maurice Trintignant would be other Monaco GP winners of perhaps a similar level to Beltoise or Panis in my opinion.

I mentioned Patrick Depailler regarding his win at Monaco, which he rather lucked into, not his overall ability.
