Default Pull Pull Rudder - Rods or Cable?

I am getting ready to install my first pull-pull system on the rudder on my Ultra Stick Lite. I have searched RCU and read many threads on the pull pull systems and how they are set up. My question is really whether I gain/lose anything between using push rods or cables. I know that weight is probably a factor, but with the US Lite and a G-26 on the front, adding a few oz's of weight on the tail will probably be a benefit anyway. I plan to mount the servo (Hitec 635HB) on the upper part of the fuse tail and connect it to the rudder with a single servo arm. I could use a cable, but did use a pull pull on my Magic Extra using pushrods rather than a cable hook up. Any recommendations or input would be appreciated. Since I haven't started, I am open to either method. I won't be running the cable/or rods through the fuse, so it will be a pretty basic install.
