My grandma always told me to buy the best and you're never disappointed. I don't always follow that rule and I'm often disappointed. I know this has nothing to do with no-name chinese servos and their reliability, but I'm tired of buying disposable items that aren't supposed to be disposable. (My Brinkman gas grill I bought from Home Depot is a prime example) This has nothing to do with country of mfg, but the company representing the product. Good luck getting any kind of "service" from Hobby King. The premium you pay for a name-brand servo from a reputable company with a track history of good customer service is worth the premium in price -in my mind anyway.
