I like headrests for a couple of reasons.
1. You can replace the headrests easily if you go to sell the car and use the monitors in your next vehicle.
2. I like the fact that the monitor is right in front of you. It's easier to view and you don't get a cramp in your neck. Atleast that's my daughters input.
3. No blocking the rear view mirror.
4. Easier install. Real easy if you get ones pre-set in headrests,

j/k
i am tall, so even a 9" would block my vision...if you're short the angle of the mirror would/could miss the monitor...
i had a 15.4 flipdown...it touched both headrests (really missed by 1/2 inch). so that was like having a bilboard inside the car...
