I'm not a photo expert, but I like a tripod over a monopod. New

You get a lot more versatility, like you can do time-lapse, or use the timer and get yourself in the shot. And for really long shutter speeds, they are necessary (like 1 second exposures)
Monopods seem to be best for moving action. Like sports or paddling- they provide some nice support, plus the ability to follow the action that isn't there with a tripod.
It's true that monopods are better for hiking- the good ones are basically a trekking pole with an attachment for your camera. but the good tripods are nice and light and narrow also- just not as bomber for scrambling and putting weight on it.
Just my opinion.
