I use a Markins M10 ball head which I bought a month or two ago. Very light, smooth, robust and horribly expensive. Bread and water never tasted so good.
What is your intended use? I carry my kit many miles and light weight is essential. The M10 is light, but sturdy, and can carry surprisingly large lenses. It is very smooth, and when I lock it down, the framing does not change. And it has a standard Arca Swiss quick release platform which allows for a firm attachment to the camera/lens.
