Default What servos to buy?

OK. I am a complete newbie and have only visited a local club once. At the moment, I'm finding it difficult to find the time to get back down there but I am definately keen to get into rc planes and have a couple of kits waiting to be built which I will hopefully start this week. I have decided to buy a Futaba 7C and get it shipped over from Tower Hobbies. I have tried getting one locally but once again not having much luck (either way too expensive, not in stock or LHS won't reply to emails or calls) so I'm going to bite the bullet and just get one sent over and hope Ilike it. With the Aussie dollar the way it is at the moment and the Tower Hobbies discounts it will work out a lot cheaper anyway. My question is though, which combination to buy? I want to get servos with it for my SIG LT-40 and also a set for my Mid Star 40 as well as an extra receiver. I guess the question I really want answered is what are the cheapest servos which will do the job properly for me? Both planes will be using 4 servos each. I plan on upgrading the batteries and buying a charger later but for now I will just convert the included charger to 240 volts (don't panic - I'm an electrician).

Just to clarify - I am getting a Futaba because that is what the majority of guys at the club fly and I need to buddy up with them. Please don't try and talk me in to getting something else. I have done a bit of research and it is a pretty good radio in my price range. Cheers.
