Are there any other factors I should consider in deciding which API to use?

Basically the dependencies you want to enforce to your users. One of the reasons the socket versions exist is based on the fact you don't have to have installed MonetDB or client libraries on that PC.

Is the protocol documented somewhere other than the code?

Unfortunately not. There is a lot of explanatory documentation in the Java implementation though.
