+1 xmonad...  I've never tried i3, and though it does look kinda
cute... xmonads multi-head support is probably the best of any window
manager.

Its also infinitely configurable, and it's reasonably easy to
copy/paste configs and get things going (Haskell knowledge isn't
required, though I'm sure it helps!)

I did like wmii, but sadly the developers dont believe in multi-head.
