Default Hard or Soft Mounted Servos / Best Mechanical Advantage/ Flutter

Hi Guys,

I have some questions about the flight surface servos and linkage. Is it best to hardmount the servos as a precaution to avoid potential flutter or utilize the rubber bushings and grommets (... And yes, the grommets inserted the correct way) ?

Linkage- Is it best (I always thought it to be true) to have the clevis linked close to the servo's output shaft and out on the control surface horn to give the best resolution AND is it less of a 'workload' for the servo like this (starting with ATV's set at 100%)??

Jet- JL T-45 (to maiden in 1 month)
JR 8711-Elevator
JR 8411-Flaps
JR 3421- Ailerons and Rudder

All surfaces have NO gaps. I also have the H9 alumn. servo arms short and long for each servo.

Thanks in advance for any advise or tips.
