Considering 5k iMac
-
The big question is, for either the BMD Mini Monitor or the Belkin hub, is does FCPX recognize either as a monitoring output? I mean, is either or both available as an option for video monitoring in the preferences and when you go to select A/V Output under the Window menu, is your timeline video routed to either device?

Actually both do. The BMD will be an AV output device with a 1080p maximum resolution. The Belkin HDMI port is treated as a second display, which you can assign to be the primary window for Events or Viewers, depending on your preference. When I use it in conjunction with the Thunderbolt display, I either have my big monitor as a 3rd display or a dedicated AV Output.
That help?

Getting back to the big question; Is the 5k iMac, maxed out, really good for editing Final Cut Pro X? I ask because my wife is forced to work on a PC using Premiere at work and its driving her crazy. She needs a new computer and the small company she works for is tight-fisted on money. So, if I suggest they give her a 5k iMac (maxed out) will I be making a good recommendation? I mean, as good as I can without suggestion they spend the money on a Mac Pro?
