I'm concerned about the mounting depth of the subs. I can't recall if you could go over 4 inches deep in the sail panels.

A similar problem exists for the sail panel subs - there aren't many 6.5" 4-ohm DVC subs for Firebirds or 6.5" 2-ohm subs for Camaros. Other than what Kee Audio offers, the only other popular choice is the eD 7kv.2 but they're a little deep and require spacers to mount.
Ian (Kee Audio) has done a lot of research into what works well with the stock Monsoon system and I don't think you'll find a better option than the CDTs. I have them myself and have been very pleased with the sound quality, power handling, and overall quality of the speakers.
If you are looking for something other than that then I suggest you really want to get rid of the Monsoon system and build something with an aftermarket amp and wider selection of speaker options.

Probably not. The eD 7kV.2 subs (now called e3.6) have a mounting depth of 3.5" and require a spacer. The JL subs have a mounting depth of over 4" so they likely would cause problems with the trim panel even if you used a thick enough spacer. Besides, they are only single voice coil so you would be giving up half the available power of the dual voice coil setup used in Firebird Monsoon sail panels.
