Gorilla pods are called for lightweight pocket cameras but useless for heavy DSLRs, the theory is good but you can never get them to "grip" sufficiently.

As far as a tripod goes, unless you intend to do special shots (a pre planned long exposure - low light for example) they are a right pita to carry abut with you on a trip. Most cameras have good anti shake stabilisation now for most common travel scenarios. Monopods are good, you can use them as walking poles.
