Well, I went for the pack/head approach to keep the weight off the stands, and to let me control things from one or two spots, rather than having to reach behind a monolight that may very well be in an awkward position. For example, an overhead softbox, or a hair light on a boom, or a light that needs to be up really high, etc., etc., etc.
Although I must say that monolights can work very well.
Like my colleague Frank P, I've had great luck with Dyna-lites over many years of location shoots.
