I use all of them.

Why?? because they are probably all made in the same factory by the same people and they just slap different labels on them and they do the same thing! (move the control surface for you slow people) and I can't tell the difference between a JR/Futaba/Hitec servo when someone hands me their transmitter.

I second the 9152. They are holding up very well.

I have a lot of 8611A servos, they have to go in for gears in less then 100 flights.
