Default what servo to use?

hi guys, just wondering what servo i should use in my kanai 3. the sevos that i am looking at are the hi-tec hs 945mg and the 925mg.
i know the 925 is quicker but will it have enough torque for what i need?
the 945 has more torque but is slower.
just like to see what one you all reckon would be the better option.

If you have the money then the Airtronics 94357Z for thottle and the Airtronics 94358Z for steering.

945 steer , 925 throttle.. and by the way your helicopter engine is ready !! you need a new recieving collar bolt for the carb.. and a gasket for the exhaust.. It should haul some serious ass now i reckon !!

Futaba 9451 or Airtronics 94758Z

Both great steering/throttle servos

My Hitec 5945MG servo has lasted and worked flawlessly for 3 years, but the radio on the other hand has been a pain in the ass.

But i have made a change and i am now using a Futaba 3PK with one S3305 for Throttle/brake and one S9350 for the steering and i will soon find out wheter they are better or not,but from what i have heard Futaba should be better.

Personally I would use the 925 for steering over the 945
The both have plenty of torque, but the 925 is faster,,that's what I like for steering
