Are you buying same brand ball head as the tripod?

I was reading a review here about the Sirui 2205 tripod and then on the B&H page the Sirui G-20X ball head caught my attention.  

Just on the fence.  This will be a second tripod for me.  As I'm getting a Dynamic Perception rig and need another tripod.  

Do you normally buy the same brand?

Only if it's offered as a bundle of some sort

Not me. I'm using an Induro tripod with a Desmond head, and also have an older Manfrotto with an Arca Swiss ball head as I don't like the Manfrotto clamping system.....

Why so serious?

Nope, I have a mix match of tripods and ball heads.  Arca Swiss, Acratech and RRS make the best ball heads IMO.
