If you are concerned about mono then I suggest you position one mike and listen to it in mono trying to get the mike the positioned for the best sound. Then, without changing the position of that first mike, position a second mike for the best stereo sound. Record in stereo. You can separate out the first mike's sound later if you want it for mono play. You can tweak (equalization, reverb, etc.) the mono and the stereo recordings differently for the best sound. Too much work for me, but if you want to have both mono and stereo playback it gives you more options and control than MS recording.
