I never thought a monopod would make much difference due to the fact that I always try to go for a minimum of 500th shutter speed and 1000th if possible, however, I got a monopod in 1998 and was surprised how much it did improve the photos, especially when photographing the F1 cars.
I'd never have thought about stuff like shutter priority because I always use those settings on manual anyway, but that is a very good point, manual override on both the shutter and aperture is very useful.
