On the Escape you want to get the two ailerons on each wing half working 
close together. The flaps are less of an issue as far as "synching" with 
the aileron. If using aileron to flap mixing (flaperons) you are not 
going to have as much flaperon throw as aileron in the first place so 
any mismatches are irrelevant. On a 14MZ I would put all 4 aileron 
servos in one group, both flap servos in a second group along with 
rudder and elevator. But even then it would not make much of a difference.

The only time I worry about the grouping is if I am going to have two or 
more servos attached to the same surface, or on surface that really need 
to act in unison like split elevators. If you notice any trim issues due 
to the grouping or even system latency on a F3J/TD plane then you are a 
pretty special guy. I hnag around some of the better soaring pilots in 
the US and the world and this is not a common topic of discussion.
