just another chime-in on wearing both earbuds. buy earpieces that seal well or you're going to lose the whole point of inear monitors.
if you are not in a position of having a monitor engineer or your own mix system like an aviom or small mixer on stage, i wouldn't even bother with inear monitors -- you won't get the benefits, only the headaches.
I've just started mixing inears full time for a band and we'll roll with a split, separate console, 8 channels of compression (which is about to be doubled any time now), several ambient/stage mics, and several outboard effects, and still vocals and guitars for singers and guitarists coming out of wedges. I wouldn't recommend anything less, it will hinder the performance.
--oh, unless you get those new sensaphonics ears that have little mics and let you dial in some ambient sound. Those would be great for a singer: vocals only in their monitors and they're able to dial in some of everything else going on around them.
