A mill vise will probably work, but I never have one mounted anywhere 
other than a mill table.  I like the bench vise (very heavy steel bench) 
for this sort of work because I have it on the corner where I can work 
all the way around a part.

Someday when I have a layout and assembly table that doesn't suffer from 
HSD (Horizontal Surface Disease) I may mount both a bench vise and a 
mill vise on the table for different things.  A mill vise is better for 
things like a hydraulic tapping arm if I ever decide I need one.
