It's up to you Paul, but if it were me I would go for monochrome camera + filter wheel.

Once you buy a colour camera you're stuck with it - you can't convert it back to monochrome unless you're really serious and de-solder the ccd and replace it. At least with a monochrome camera you can add a wheel and colour filters to do colour...

I guess it can seem a bit daunting to go from colour to monochrome + filters, but I don't know anyone who has gone that way and then come back to one-shot colour :-) You could also ask Chris Go in the Philippines, he has just made the same change.
