All monopods do is hold heavy lenses so you don't have to. They do not work for time exposures, HDR imaging, critical framing, or any of the multitude of things you use a tripod for. On the other hand, there is nothing a monopod can do that a tripod can't. (All you do is tie the legs together and your tripod is a monopod.)
One reason I always use a tripod for portraiture is because it allows me to get away from the viewfinder and have eye to eye connection with the subject.
There is absolutely no choice in this decision - you NEED a tripod. A monopod is just an accessory.
