I have 2 healing headsets.
One +1 healing + minor healing. One +1 healing + superior healing.
Also have a +1DF/minor healing (when I run a split DF/Healing build).

It's all about available cash and preference for PvE.
If you know how to stay out of aggro and have the cash, you can take a superior.
If you are somewhat inexperienced, go for a healing / DF scalp with minor healing.

Major healing is also an option if you want more healing, but don't have the cash for superior yet.
I would not be surpriced if major is cheaper than minor. And major Vigor counters the loss of health.

This is the set-up I recommend for a PvE WoH monk:

Healing: 16 (12+3+1)
Divine Favor: 13 (12+1)
Protection: 4 (3+1)

As a WoH monk, there is no need for any secondary class skills, so just go pure monk.
Go with a superior healing rune, a minor divine favor rune, and a minor protection rune. If you can't afford a superior healing rune or don't feel comfortable with the -75 HP loss, then go with a major healing rune instead.

What makes WoH builds so effective in PvE is that they don't require any sort of energy management skills to keep them going. Your energy-efficient build IS your energy management. Just make sure to pack all 5 energy skills on your bar and you'll be able to spam heals forever.

EDIT: In case you weren't sure, which piece of armor you put your runes into is irrelevant. So just slot them in wherever you have room.

It's good you put your Vigor rune in the chest; since chest and legs are most expensive, you want your staple runes in those slots. Runes you think you want want a major/superior swap for can go on the head, arms, or feet.

You still want to use one of each rune, because the rune bonus will stack with the bonus from your scalp. You can use a sup or major for your primary attribute if you want, but it's not necessary and I don't use it.

For white monks, black, red, aqua, and dark blue look good. You can really use any color you want, but these combinations seem to give a nice contrast. My monk uses gold tats for farming and they look pretty awesome.
