I'd just go the 645MG for the same cash if it was me, but if you want that one its upto you.
I only got experience with the 645 so I can't comment on the 635(also never heard of anyone say anything positive or negative about it)

nitroholic, the one you linked is still only 83oz torque, and 'kryptonite' gears ? i dont know whats that but its no metal gears !
get the 645mg, its got metal gears, ball bearings and has 133oz of torque.

for the steering always use metal gear servos if possible.

i dont know, some plugs have a little tab on one side to make sure you dont plug it inverted.
if the servo have the tab and your receiver doesnt, just remove the tab from the servo plug with a knife.

How much torque does a 15kg/cm havein oz/inches?

I bought some of these for a heli, but they're getting used for steering:
