Default Servos for Hangar9 Edge

Now I'm looking at the servos. First I was thinking of putting all digital servos (fast, strong and precise), but after I read all stories about Hitec Digital I got scared. Standard (analog) servos give less performance but at least they will not lock full deflected surface by themselves. I have already totaled one plane because of radio glitch and it wasn't pretty view. I want to save my big one from that.

What you guys think, can I get away with the following configuration:
- 2 x HS-605BB on ailerons (I have a spare pair, so I'm thinking this bird might like them here). Are they tough enough?
- 1 x HS-945MG on pul-pul rudder (it's fast, strong and not digital ).
- 2 x HS-5625MG on elevator (this is the place I think I might need precision to be sure that both halves are moving together - same speed and the same throw). I know it's risky, but do I have other choice for the elevator?

All of them are the same speed (0.12 - 0.14) and at 6V I hope the torque will be sufficient.

If this configuration is OK, what size of battery will I need?

Yesterday night I have finished CF pushrods for the ailerons. Strong, light and stiff. I'm proud of that job

B.T.W. The manual says to put the servo that way, that the shaft is closer to the leading edge - it means longer pushrods. Why???
