oh man, did you just open a can of worms. I can see it now, it will become a huge servo war. The best choice is the one that provides enough torgue and will do the job based on what you can afford. That being said...DO NOT use servos that do not have enough power for a 40% plane.

Many guys will say JR 8711's, many will say Hitec and many will swear by Futaba....it is really up to you. Best to ask what guys have in their 40% planes, or attend a large scale event and ask the pilots!.

I am in the process of completeing a 40% Yak 54 and I plan to use 8711HV's all around, overkill on some parts of the plane, perhaps, however I have a good friend of mine that has been using them for a while now and has had no issues and I trust his judgement moreso than anybody elses. I have used 8711's in the past and have never had an issue.

So the choice is yours!
