Graphite? Do you mean Carbon Fiber... the weight difference is probably small and a head can add weight to either. I would expect the CF to absorb vibration better though.

I went shopping for a new monopod earlier this year. Priorities were weight, height, and robustness. To me it’s foolish to have a telescoping monopod shorter than 70”. At max height plus the head and camera, now the lens center can be as high as 76” or so giving you a lot more flexibility. At that height, I didn’t see much difference in weight between graphite and aluminum. I chose a Manfrotto MPMXPROA4US and an Arca Swiss tilt head. Love it!
