I'm using Arca-style QRs (YMMV); I've added a tilt head to the monopod (Bogen 3232, under 15 bucks at B&H) which gives me all the movements I need and no more. The lenses I'm using with the monopod have rotating tripod collars or at least some means of switching to vertical format independant of the monopod and its head so if you need to tilt the camera up/down independant of the monopod as well as tilting sideways for vertical format, the 3232 might not be the best head for your monopod. My monopod is a Bogen 3218 which I chose partly because of its price ($25 used from a friend) and more importantly because it's tall enough, strong enough and the locks for the leg sections don't require two hands to operate.
