Default Servos

Going to order the radio tonight (JR XS3 Pro) and had some servo questions. From what I've read it looks like its a digital system, that being said (if correct), whats the benefit of running a digital servo. I know transmission time is supposed to be reduced but is it really noticeable? Most of the digital servos seem to lack torque and speed. What I mean is the torquey servos (120+) seem to have transit times in the .13-16 sec area. I would prefer a servo around .10 (even less). I have found a couple but the torque is around 105-110, is that "good enough" or should I not bother with a digital? I'm looking at the JR Z8800S (105oz/.08sec). Its high torque brother is 188/.15sec.

Also, are the digital servos of other manufacturers completely compatible with other systems? Would an Airtronics digital servo work at 100% connected to a JR receiver?
