There are people using both E3Dv6 and UM2 print heads on UMO(+), me included (using an UM2 head on an UMO+).
For the UMO it takes a bit more since the motherboard is not the same as on the UM2.
But it is still doable.
Here is some useful info if you want to take the UM2 route:
I haven't used the E3Dv6 myself but one drawback seems to be that you can have issues printing PLA since it is an all-metal hotend. On the other hand, it allows you to use materials that requires high temps without worrying about a coupler that might be damaged.
There are quite a few people who made mounts for the E3d V6 + UMO on Thingyverse most of who have instructions and information about this transformation.

We don't often release an alpha version of Ultimaker Cura... So what's different this time? This Alpha contains such a huge slicing engine overhaul that we really need your help!
We wish to celebrate and honor the innovators that push forward the field, technology and world. We opted to not present it as a competition or ranked list. Every innovator has earned his spot on that list in their own way. We also look at the 3D printing industry as a whole and not limit the list to those only using Ultimaker.
