Honestly, when I saw Nightmare in Silver, I began to think that the writers no longer want to make distinctions between types of Cyberman and just collapse them into a generic cyberman. There was no discussion about where these Cybermen came from, what their origins were, how they came to this galaxy. Maybe they originated in Mondas or Pete's World or a different place entirely. But what was consistent was their appearance and the personality (removing all emotion, having a Cyber Leader, having them linked through a mental network, etc.).

So, given the lack of information Gaiman included about their origins in the storyline, I think they belong in a generic Cyberman category and the Mondas and Pete's World entries either be incorporated or seen as derivative of the generic category.
