Everyone seems to advise going t hitec hg 65`s but again they do not accept the frequency so another might be better but mine have been fine so far

Futaba S3154 (7.8g)
Logictech LTS3000, or something like that. (around 8g)
The other good tail servos like the S9257 or S9650 are 26g, much heavier than above and stock.
There's also the Spektrum DSP75 (7.5g) and it will accept the gyro's digital pulse but mine just failed.
Two solder connections failed at two different places so I don't think it's much better than stock as far as durability and reliability.
Performance wise in digital mode it might be a little better than stock.

RE: Best servo for the stock gyro Blade 400
I ended up finding out on the til rotor slider control system there was a bit of binding going on.
as soon as i fixed it the tail is alot better now.
I have about 20 flights on it already and getting 6 min and close to 50% left in the packs. Just scale flying though.
I also found out the the green evo flight power pack is 2 grams lighter and very close to the same size but they are a 3s 2100.
only a couple of bucks more and are rated the same as the stock battery.
stock battery is 160g.
the evo 25 3s 1800's are 12 grams lighter. I have a couple of those and the power difference is very noticable.

I went with Hitec 65's all the way around, including the tail. They are better servos then stock, better then the Spectrum 275 even though the 65 are analog. For the average person, you will not notice a differenece in performance. Or you can spend a ton of money and go digital all the way around and get a new ESC to keep brown outs from happening. For the money, the 65's are pretty good, my LHS had em for $25 a piece. I think wolf got em online for around $22 a piece. Crashed hard with them and did not strip any out.

What I wrote there obviously pertains to the tail.
For cyclic, as Xyster101 said, I like the HS65 HB's.
