Default Newbie Help for Ultrastik 40

I need a little advice for me new Hangar 9 Ultra Stik 40 that I just received. Mainly, I'm interested in what your thoughts are for what engine to put on it. I'm kinda interested in a 4-stroke, but I'm not fully convinced. My first plane has an O.S. 46 2-stroke on it, which I've been extremely pleased with. But for this second plane, I've been considering a 4-stroke for it. I've kicked around the internet and have been looking at the Magnum .70 4-stroke. I'm not really sure why, maybe it's just to get some experience with something different. I know they sound better and use less fuel, but does it really buy me anything? I'd like to try something new, but if it's not really worth it, maybe I should just pick up another O.S. .46. Let me know what you guys thing!

On another note, I'd also really like to know what servos you guys recommend. I plan to go with the quad-flaps option. I don't know much about servos, since I bought my first plane RTF. Any input appreciated!

Thanks!
