They're almost cool, almost useful and almost competent at their chosen task... except they show up with useless equipment and get their asses kicked.  When its not artifacts in place of weapons, its still no-quality silver swords and no-quality armor.  Which is kind of okay, it means I get the artifacts some are inexplicably wielding, but they're clearly not doing what they're supposed to.

Suggestion:  we should be able to reequip them with better gear.  Either directly through a military screen (but still not giving them squad orders), or better yet we should be able to make fortress-produced gear available for them to reequip.  Possibly out of a weapons/armor stockpile with a setting to allow visitors, but I'm not attached to the exact implementation.

With a better economy, maybe they might earn money and buy themselves better and better items.

If only previously wounded monster hunters would re-equip their weapon and shield after their limbs got restored.

Maybe a two stage petition system like with normal residents would work: the first one is for asking permission to hunt monsters, the second to use fort's equipment and clothes.

Monster hunters could get a lot more efficient if they would also take backpacks and waterskins. They wouldn't fall in depression very soon for having no clothes. Unless a more complicated system comes in place, I think this would work well with the current game.

A category of hunters & monster hunters under command of the Fortress rather than a militia commander would allow us the same amount of micromanagement we have with militia soldiers, seperated into pre-named squads with unlimited depth to who can join.

Also to set our own dwarves on monster hunting duties for bored & retired veterans or just as a errand duty could be a possibility.
