Some some reason, people hammer HK, but I've never had a failure of their stuff yet or a bad experience. If my tank was at 6000 feet and a mile away, maybe I'd go with Futabas, but otherwise when I can get 12 Rxs for the price of 1 Spektrum, I'm going that route.
I always do the HK shipping dance. Every product lists the weight and adds it up for you. If you need to add to keep under the current level, say 100g for $2.99, you can add Turnigy chips, servo extensions, adapters, plugs, etc to hit the target. You'd be amazed how many things they have for a buck or two that would save you time and money.
If you're buying servos for recoil, definitely get at least one Turnigy chip so you can set the speed. I just threw one on a servo I hooked up to my Tiger I MG, so the gun slowly rakes right to left when you fire, then slowly moves back once you stop.
