Using the mono style will give you a black and white image but you will be limited in the adjustments you can make with that image in post processing. As mentioned, you best bet is to shoot in raw and convert to B & W in photoshop or another package. This way you can apply various filters and change the luminosity of each colour channel to get the best look.
