Kat, each of us has their own preferences. Truth is that all will work, or you wouldn't see them used. If you are more comfortable with the rods from the Nexstar, use them. The only two issues would be, are they the right length and will they do the job. Actully three questions, will the ends fit correctly.

I like making up my own rods. I know what I have that way and I'm sure that they fit well. I am not a fan of a Z bend because to get the rod through a hole in the servo arm or horn, the hole has to be bigger than the rod or else you couldn't get the bend in the rod through the hole. This translates to a sloppy fit. Clevises in fresh arms and horns will give a tight linkage. That's me. Others will give different advise. You need to decide what will work best for you.
