A monopod works very well, as you tend to adjust the last mm by moving the camera closer to the object.
Also a monopod gives you much more freedom.
However, make sure the monopod has a ballhead else it is unusable.
With my 150mm I rather use my 580ex (with extension cord and bracket) than my sigma macroringflash although the letter is quite usable too. It depends on the subject: odonata: 580ex, tiny flies sigma em-140 dg
