It isint very inspiring if the brand new servo fails while you are testing during installation[:@]
Did you have one fail during testing?

(on a more positive note, may be thats better than it failing during the flying
). So what I am asking is:
1) Is the 225MG suitable for this application?
Yes it should be fine.

2) Should I use that servo if it is suitable, specially considering its 4 times more troubling (there are 4 servos on the ailerons remember) and this is a more expensive airplane?
The cost of the plane doesn't have anything to do with it.
What does is the size of the control surfaces and HOW you set up the linkages.
Make sure you go for MAXIMUM MECHANICAL ADVANTAGE.
I've used one of the 225MG servos to control FOUR ailerons on .40 sized Ultimate biplanes.
The servo drives both lower ailerons which in turn drive the upper.
This has worked just fine for me on three such planes and I'm pretty certain my little 225MG's are overcoming far more force than they would see on the Reactor Bipe.
Just remember NOT to but the control surfaces right up against the wing edge... make sure you leave a small gap so the surfaces can move up and down cleanly w/o binding.
All too often people get so hung up about hinge gaps that they forget to leave ANY gap, which is equally important.
