Default Servo's!

Hey guys,
I'm looking to make the move into gasser somtime in the future... it's hard when your 15.. But Right now I'm flying an Ultra Stick Lite 1.20 with Futaba S3305's. These are great servo's with 124 oz/in. or torq. at 6.0 Volts. But like most analog servo's they don't have quite the centering qualities digi's do. I've been looking at these:

http://www.servocity.com/html/hs-5955tg.html --------Hitec 5955tg

http://www.servocity.com/html/hsr-59...ra_torque.html ---------Hitec 5995tg


I really like the Hitecs as they are REALLY High torq and would have some use in all my planes in the future. It will be quite some time before I make my purchase (probably only 2 servo's at first) but this is somthing I really need to research and get the best for my money. I also looked at JR 8611's and the new 8611A btu tere's alot of those for sale which makes me wander. I also Have some questions;

1.) Do I HAVE to have a programmer?

2.) What other "care and feeding" should I know about?

Thanks!
