Default Servo setup for DP Ultimate?

I'm contemplating getting a DP Ultimate (The Big One) and I need some advice on what servo setup to use. I'm thinking about using a Hitec HS-645 for the elevator and another for the rudder. I'm also thinking about using HS-85's on the ailerons and a HS-81 for the throttle.

I want to use the HS-85's on the ailerons to save weight but I'm not real sure that they have enough torque. (Doesn't the DP Ultimate use a servo for each aileron?) Is this a good idea or should I go with standard servos or even high torque on the ailerons?

Also, are metal gear servos best suited for this type of application or should I use servos with the nylon gears?

Does this setup sound pretty good for the money? I don't think I want to go the digital route.

Any better ideas? I know the DP Ultimate has been out there for a while and I'm sure there are some great time tested setups for this airplane that you guys already use.

Thanks, Bozwth
