Default RE: which requires more servo torque...

Rudder

The rudder on most 3D planes has a larger chord and thus has more leverage against the servo, assuming equal throws and surface area of course. Also, many 3D planes have large counterbalances on the elevator and tiny ones on the rudder.

Nothing is absolute, it really depends on the plane.
