I'm using an 8-ch Airtronics RDS8000.
The Y harness does not reverse the servo. You just have to make sure that you put the horn on the right side of the servo. I have at least 3 large scale models with dual elevator servos on a Y. IT mainly depends on how much capability you have with your radio and RX ports. It can be nice to mix them electronically.
