Which ballhead with Gitzo GT2541EX

I am not sure of which ballhead to buy because of its special design for the mid column.  Any suggestion?

Hmmm. I own, and have owned, many Gitzo tripods. I've never had one that couldn't accept a regular head though. What' special about this one that it can't take a Markins head (which I'd highly recommend over RRS, etc.)?

I have this tripod and like it very much.  There is no head-dependency - not sure I am following your question.  The only thing you have to be careful about is that when you are horizontal that the head doesn't come unscrewed at it's base.

I use the Markins Emile, even for my D3x.

My preference is the Linhof Profi II  new ones for about $200 on Ebay! as good as a RRS BH55 slightly less bulky
