Without doubt
Really Right Stuff is the best quick release system on the planet.
I suspect their heads and tripods are also top shelf.
If funds were not an issue - I'd go 100% RRS.

I've used Gitzo my whole life.
Good solid gear.
Though I do not own any carbon fiber.
I also have Bogen, Foba and Manfrotto;
all fine quality.
