I don't want a tiling window manager. I want something that will seamlessly replace marco (MATE fork of metacity) and integrate with MATE desktop. There must also be an up-to-date Debian package.
Can awesome and xmonad do that?

Yes. It is possible to run MATE with either of these window managers. Debian might have not the latest packages however.

I will have to look at these sometime. But I suspect I might get snagged by the OpenGL requirement especially since I need Nvidia binary drivers.

There is no OpenGL requirement for awesome or xmonad. Also, Debian's awesome package is well-maintained by awesome's original author.
