My Arca-Swiss Z1 will hold a huge load, yet it's smooth as can be. Not cheap, but worth the money. When I'm using it with my 500mm, I add a Wimberley Sidekick, which is also a great piece of kit.

Go with a ballhead for general usage; however, the lesser brands can slip or even move as you tighten to lock-down.
