For my money I'd go for Q (or Precise/SQL).

Instance monitor can't monitor your environment 24x7 as it reads the v$ tables and can overload your oracle RDBMS very easily - you have it use it sparingly!

Q and Precise/SQL monitor the SGA directly. For the nice gui I'd favour Q, but I haven't really had chance to eval Precise/SQL yet so it's hard to judge.
