Since my rudder servo and 2 stab servos all sit in the rear of the plane, I am also only running 1 SBUS hub cable to the front versus 3 separate servo extension cables. Saves weight and clutter.
Derek,

It might not matter, but you will find that you can set the sub trim and maybe the travel, more accurately in the transmitter, (one part in 2048). It has been awhile but I remember that the servo could not be programmed that accurately (.25 degrees?). Therefore the four channel approach might be better.
