You can use a regular monitor. You can actually use a regular monitor for the Mac Pro as well. The Mini was marketed to be used with standard "Windows" peripherals. It is supposed to convince Windows users to switch over with ease.

Unless you have a DVI to VGA converter, you must use a monitor with a DVI connection.

Left: DVI
Right: VGA

Most modern LCD monitors have DVI connections, so that shouldn't be much of a problem.
