mixing analog and digital servos
You can use both type of servo's in your system. For instance digital servos on control surfaces and an analog servo for throttle and choke. If I was running multiple servos on a control surface I would not mix digital and analog together. I would think this would be hard to adjust and don't think analogs center as well as digitals. All my large planes use digital servos exclusively, but I am not that price conscience. I use hitec digital and their programmer so setup is very easy. What type/size plane are you going to use the servos in?

mixing analog and digital servos
High performance analogs center just as well as their digital counterparts, and are just as precise. The main advantage to the digital is that under high loads around neutral they will hold that center position better, that does not mean they center better.
Yes you can put any servo on any surface.

mixing servos
Ed.,
I have a BVM F-100 turbine powered. Airplane has 15 servos. Five of them are JR 8411 digitals the rest are a mix of JR and Futaba analogs. No problem. Fly'em and have fun.
