One good trick I learned from Fred was to wrap the pull pull lines under the servo screw after threading through the servo control arm. The screw locks the cable in place, but you can still loosten for adjustments. 50 lb spectra kite string is a good thread to use. It's slippery and strong.
wind junkie - I assume you're talking about wrapping the line around the screw under the screw head. Does this ever tend to change the tension on the line when the screw is tightened?

I generally like the idea of using the servo screw to adjust and hold in place. Does this allow you to just loop the line through the clevis at the control surface, eliminating the clevis and even more weight?
