What is a good situation to plant a monkey puzzle tree?. Might one survive
ok on a level windy site, which is not a seaside location?. Also, what
shrubs might suit such a site?

We've got one in our front garden at Princetown in Devon and it's about
80 years old. Middle of Dartmoor, height 1250 ft. above sea level,
average rainfall about 90+ in. a year, and windy as buggery. If they
survive here I suspect they'll survive pretty well anywhere.

Hmm. Clearly chosen so that your, er, guests couldn't escape by
climbing it?

Well, if it will grow there, my books are a little negative about
its dislike of very strong winds!
