I wouldn't want to use a ball-head with a 600/4.
A pan-tilt head would be totally out of place on a monopod.
A gimbal head might work OK, but I'm leaning towards agreeing with
Cotty's suggestion of not using any head. Once that 600mm is moved
off-centre, the whole monopod system would be in danger of folding at
the pivot point and falling over, especially if the monopod is
leaning. And if it gets the chance it'll eat your fingers in the
process.
