FWIW on my Bogen monopod, I use Manfrottos monopod tilt head #234, allowing
the camera body to be turned 90 degrees to provide either vertical or
horizontal format.

Ballheads may not be necessary. I have used monopods for years

the whole rig for minor adjustments in pitch or roll.
I shoot on very uneven ground a lot, and I find the ball head very
helpful. Sometimes the terrain forces me to use the monopod at an angle,
and the ball head let's me get the camera back near level ... then I just
tilt the whole rig for fine tuning. But without the head, sometimes I'd
be screwed.
