I use the sennheiser e300 set-up and like it a good deal better than the shure system I had...I believe it was to 400...but could have been the 200...I don't remember.
Regarding the set-up...I think it depends greatly on what you need...for me...I'm kinda of a one-man looping show so I have to do most of the mixing on stage and I have configured my mixes (both in stereo) to suit my needs...but I can see, in a more traditional band set-up, how that might not be advisable. A mono mix works just fine.
But I can say that wearing only one ear piece should only be done at your singers peril. There is a lot of hype and debate...but wearing one ear piece is a bad idea in a loud setting unless you want to end up deaf. I agree with all that the other poster said...talking and communicating is hard...hearing the crowd is hard...getting use to IEM's is hard...not hearing the room mix is makes it hard...but the simple fact is...that in a loud room your singer will continue to crank her receiver until her vocal is heard clearly over all the other noise...unfortunately...at these decibel levels, the ear can be damaged rather quickly.
It is certainly something that one must consider.
