I have been using Hitec digital servos for the past three years.  In my 
Advantage I have used two 5625 servos (one on each elevator half), two 
5245 servos (one on each aileron and one 5925 on rudder.  They have all 
given me flawless service and seem to track and center as well as they 
did when I installed them.

My flying companion, John Fuqua used  the same control surface setup as 
mine on a Focus for two years.  When he retired the Focus this summer 
in favor of a Temptation, he went with 5245s on each elevator half and 
each aileron and a 5925 on rudder.  He is a better pilot than me and 
can afford more expensive servos, but continues to use Hitec digital 
servos.
